Snapchat launches tech hardware Spectacles – sunglasses embedded with a tiny camera to allow users to grab video and send messages instantly
It is shortly after 8am on London’s South Bank, but something has gone a little awry at the cutting edge of technology. In a plaza next to the London Eye, a handful of men in their 30s and 40s are standing around a bright yellow box the size of a vending machine, forlornly pressing its buttons to little effect.
Before long a group of black-clad PRs have erected a yellow tent over the device, behind which an engineer busies himself. “Oh, there’s no issue,” says one cheerfully, “the Snapbot is just having a little nap. He’ll be awake soon.”
