When Snapchat released its new, innovative Spectacles to the world in September, it predicted a whole new experience for users. The quirky frames, wild colors and unique viewpoint offered a fresh perspective for social media. According to its promotional video, Snapchat expected users to document every moment of their free-spirited, active lifestyles.
Now that the big wait is over, and Snap, Inc. has been dropping bots full of these bad boys across the U.S., we’re starting to see how people are actually using the wacky wearables. From playing tennis to graffiti-filled subway tours, users are giving us a glimpse of the world through their eyes. And it’s pretty amazing. Check out all the creative and fun content people have been creating since Spectacles took the stage:
