Spectacles 3, Spectacles 2 by Snapchat features, specifications

As mentioned, Spectacles 2 and Spectacles 3 by Snapchat allow wearers to capture photos and videos. Since there are two cameras on Spectacles 3, you can use these to capture 3D photos and 3D videos, whereas Spectacles 2 come with a single camera. The depth information present in the 3D media allows users to play with AR filters to get interesting results. You will need to use Snapchat app to import the captures from Spectacles. The same app can be used to edit, include AR filters, and more in the media.

In terms of the technical specifications, Spectacles 3 by Snapchat are capable to taking 1728x1728 pixels resolution photos and 1216x1216 pixels resolution videos at 60fps.
