After the company previously unveiled their first-generation Spectacles with an in-built camera, back in 2016, the company has now decided to launch their next-generation Spectacles 2 and the Spectacles 3 in India.

The Spectacles 3 debuted in August last year with a better, strong and lightweight steel frame, two HD cameras on either side of the frame to capture depth, adjustable tips, and some new augmented reality creative tools to enhance the snaps while compromising on the water-resistance.
