However, tech-obsessed individuals were in for a nice treat this morning. On February 20, Snapchat announced they would begin selling these glasses from their website. This jump to a more traditional selling technique is generating speculation in the tech world as many think it is indicative of a software upgrade.
According to a recent report from The Information, Snap Inc. is working on a more sophisticated version of their classic filters and spending millions to improve their augmented reality capabilities.
