It says try it on in-app, I tried it on and they look like those UV shades for old ppl that blocks sun from the sides. No one in their right minds would wear them in public.

These are not for sale. These Spectacles, however, aren’t ready for the mass market. Unlike past models, Snap isn’t selling them. Instead, it’s giving them directly to an undisclosed number of AR effects creators through an application program online. (Another indication they aren’t ready for everyday use: the battery only lasts 30 minutes.) https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/20/22445481/snap-spectacles-ar-augmented-reality-announced https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/20/22445481/snap-spectacles-...

Are you saying old people are not in their right minds? I’d argue the opposite with regards to fashion choices, but I don’t think old people would go for these either.

  Incidentally I'm only 40 and am often wearing those type of shades because my eyes are very sensitive and constant squinting gives me migraines. I actually came to like them quite a bit and two of my friends got them too, not out of need but because they think they look cool so its a very subjective thing after all.

  Older people are the larger subset of people that care less about their fashion, mostly because they have no support system that would bother or care either. When the benefit disappears so does their mental resources in keeping up. For a clearer example, look at someone tech savvy and someone of the same age that makes excuses about being technophobic related to their age. They both have solidarity amongst other people that enable their choices.

I’m looking for a way to send these people my money, so you’re wrong. Edit: Just realized I’m 40 so probably qualify as old to most people, so that doesn’t necessarily prove you wrong.
