Report: Snap's Next Spectacles Will Have Two Cameras, Costs $350

A report today says that Venice, California-based Snap is getting set to launch a another version of its Spectacles, its connected, video- and snapshot-capturing sunglasses, for the heady price of $350.00. According to the report, the new Spectacles will be capable of producing augmented reality effects in videos, including overlay of AR lenses and 3D photo effects based on footage from the glasses. The price is a significant increase in price for Snap's spectacles--almost twice what the current generation of glasses costs. Snap has been struggling somewhat to increase user adoption of its spectacles, with the head of the effort leaving earlier this year, after very poor adoption of its initial version of the glasses last year.
