[quote name="skip"][quote]Spectacles are so good that it’s a shame the access to them is so limited. But I’m also glad Snap is taking this one step at a time. It’s like a bizarro version of the Google Glass beta: a limited rollout, but done in a way that fosters fascination — and hopefully some critical thought — instead of just revulsion.[/quote] https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/23/16523568/snap-spectacles-unsold-units-hundreds-thousands-report [quote]The Information reports that Snap expected demand for Spectacles to continue after the holidays and ordered “hundreds of thousands” of additional units. But after it opened sales to a wider audience, that didn’t happen, and those units are now reported to be sitting around in warehouses, unsold.[/quote] What else do they have up their sleeve? [quote]There had been signs Snap was working on a drone, but The Information says that effort has been scrapped. There are also signs that it’s looking into augmented reality glasses, though that’d be a tough effort. It would also put Snap up against tech giants like Microsoft and Facebook, which haven’t had any luck expanding the tech outside of a gaming audience.
