Whether teens will think they look cool.
Some people think that they are just like another version of Google Glass. Naturally, there are varying opinions floating about.

Spectacles are considered to be less expensive than Google Glass, which makes them more affordable for the general public. Snap sees the glasses not so much as a face computer, but more of a GoPro for life with the realization that people really do love their GoPros.
