Genius, announced on Snapchat of course (see some of the screenshots in the gallery). Warby Parker's done this a few time in the past with Ghostly and others. Product Hunt x Warby Parker glasses? 🤔

@rrhoover Im trying my best to understand - Where is the genius?

@otymartin Right about here: "Due to popular demand, this item is currently out of stock."
Max Pelzner
@rrhoover they're sold out already!? Nooooooooo 😢 anyways... follow me on Snapchat 👻 @whoismaxpelzner!

@otymartin genius in that: (1) Warby announced on Snapchat so you had to add their account to get the URL -- unless you saw it on PH or elsewhere and (2) the campaign will drive more positive WOM for both brands I expect to see these on ebay at a nice markup. 😁

@rrhoover Others, like: Warby Parker x Warner Bros. 3 years ago for Man of Steel http://blog.warbyparker.com/warb... <3 @neilblumenthal @davegilboa's Product Hunt Live Chat https://www.producthunt.com/live...

Thought these were going to be Snapchat's attempt at AR glasses...

I saw the title and got scared for a minute! Then I realized this is just a pair of cool looking sunglasses.

I got excited and thought this was an AR HMD! 😎
Chris Short
I can't say these even look good let alone merit $95.

I think Snapchat missed an opportunity to change that "swipe up to chat" gesture into "swipe up to buy", something like that would make purchases so low-friction you wouldn't have to think twice.

Snapchat is investing in AR through augmented selfie lenses, patent filings, and with their recent hires. With this project they are gaining eyewear experience and testing market demand to see if they can sell their own users AR glasses.

Does anyone happen to know what the closest Warby Parker model is to this? Just wondering if they were modeled off of a current model?
