2016 - First generation Snap Spectacles

Snapchat launched its first piece of hardware in 2016, in the form of its first generation Snap Spectacles. 

The smart glasses retailed at $129.99, and featured a single camera on one side, from which users could record footage with a 115-degree field of view.  

2018 - Second generation Snap Spectacles

The second generation Snap Spectacles were launched in June 2018, costing $150. 

Unlike the first generation Spectacles which could only record footage, the second generation were able to shoot photos. 

Snaps captured on the smart glasses transferred to the Snapchat app four times faster than the first generation, and always in HD. 

2019 - Third generation Snap Spectacles

Snapchat took things up a notch in 2019, with the launch of its third generation Spectacles, which are still available now for $330.
