Snapchat 's Spectacles are just starting to make traction around the world, but sources have revealed that the firm is already designing the next model. It has been said that Spectacles II will built-in augmented reality features (pictured is a pair of original Spectacles)
FrontRow is part of a larger trend of video recording wearables, as seen with Snapchat's Spectacles.
The Spectacles - which are a range of sunglasses which users can film 10 second video clips and upload them straight to the picture messaging app - were released in the US in November 2016 and in the UK in June 2017.
Now Spectacles are just starting to gain traction around the world, sources have revealed that the firm is already working on the next model.
It has been said that Spectacles II will be 'quite different' from its predecessor and include built-in augmented reality features, TechCrunch reported.
The rumor was brought to light a month after Snapchat published a patent for the technology, which overlays digital images in the real-world environment captured by the glasses.
Although the patent does not outright list 'Spectacles' as the tool that would transport users to an augmented work, there is a drawing (pictured) of a pair of glasses that looks almost identical
