Snapchat lovers now have a new fashion and vanity accessory- Snapchat Spectacles

Snapchat unveiled a pair of video camera-equipped sunglasses called Spectacles, over the weekend. The Shades cost $129 and will let users shoot 10-second videos to upload to Snapchat. Lights on the front of the device will flash to indicate it's recording. It records circular video with a 115-degree field of view and sends snaps to the mobile phone app.

For those who are yet to get it, Snapchat is a mobile app that allows you post pictures and videos that disappear after a certain period of time. It may sound funny to some but the popular 5-year-old app, now has nearly 15 million more users per day than Twitter. And to some observers may even succeed where Google Glass did not.

Will the new Spectacles make me get on Snapchat? I don’t think so. Asides from the fact that it cost almost 50k at the current exchange rate (which can be used to buy 2 and a half bags of rice in this recession), i still haven’t understood why people need to stare bleakly into a video camera while making pouts and the same faces over and over again. One thing you can’t deny though is that its loads of fun for the 150 million daily young users of its social network. With the Snap Spectacles which is coming soon, the newly renamed Snap Inc. Just may have hit the jackpot again.

Are you a Snapchat lover? Will you buy the new Spectacles? Yay or Nay?
