Hi, Kevin and Danny here from Roff & Co
we're here at Playopolis in Rochester to
drink some cocktails, play some games and
talk about snapchat spectacles
Spectacles are glasses with a built-in video
camera that allows you to take up to 10
second video clips and have them
automatically upload over Bluetooth to
your Snapchat account. They're currently
only available in the US and many people
in the UK won't have seen or heard of them.
The release of the spectacles was
particularly interesting in that they
were only available via a vending
machine randomly appearing a town and
disappear after 24 hours this is a great
way of bringing the ephemeral experience
of the app to the real world. So Danny,
we've had our spectacles for a few weeks now
and having to play around them, before we
get to using them, can you just talk us
through setting them up. Yeah s
straight out of the box these are going to
have no charge at all so to charge the
spectacles there's actually a number of
options straight out of the box you
probably want to charge the spectacles
directly you can do that by taking a
charging cable and attaching it to the
port behind the left arm you'll see they
are now charging we actually had an
issue with our pairs in that they weren't
registering as charging when they
actually were we have found a quick fix
for this which I'll link to below the
next option is the case itself this
actually acts as a portable charging
unit this has the capacity to charge
the spectacles four times over as
identified by those four LED lights on
the side there this can be charged same
by attaching the same charging cable
to the port there so as I said the case
actually acts as a portable charging
unit there is a charging port there the
place of spectacles in and they're now
charging whilst on the go so you connect
your spectacles you're first going to on
your bluetooth on and then go to the
snapchat app, look at that there we are
today so we're filming ok swipe down
from now gear icon in the top right hand
corner scroll down until you see spectacles
cool tap on that okay now it's given us
the option to add them so this is where
we need to take them out of our case put
them on right tap add spectacles okay
you see this stack code here we don't
want to press the button and stare at it
for 10 seconds or so. found them
now we're going to name them
just finalizing that now
there you have it you're now ready to
use your snapchat spectacle so the whole Roff team
have been having to play with
these now I've seen some brilliant snaps
from you in nightclubs and bullrings and
ghosts but let us know what you think of
them so the reality of setting them up
was not that intuitive but then that
snapchat the field quality is just as
good as any other pair of sunglasses
I've owned and they'll definitely
withstand day to day use probably
wouldn't fare too well if you found them
but yeah I'm always all good and
sunglasses they're not actually that bad
the only issue I've got them is not
exactly my style what do you think I
think you're glorious I thank you you're
welcome
How easy are they to use?
get past the less intuitive stuff
there are simple as well press of a
button
the video quality inside the snapchat
app is well perfectly fine perfectly
viewable it was when we tried to export
that footage to use on other platforms
well it just absolutely murdered the
quality as for audio yeah it picked up
noise a lot of noise a bit too much
noise as Kevin found out yeah I found
when I was recording it would very often
pick up my breathing even when I wasn't
doing anything particular energetic
which wasn't a great look for most of my
videos so before I asked you if you
actually buy these they're not very
well-known in the UK at the moment they
do look a bit strange that flashing
light there's been any kind of weird
reception to you using them I know
you've been like the guy in a nightclub
wearing shades yeah the reception that
has been mixed definitely people have
been looking at me a bit weirdly
probably because the flashing light and
that the indoor wearing of sunglasses I
have spoken to people my own age so
snapchats Prime audience really and
they've all said they either don't see
the point of them or it's a funky gadget
and no more than that they wouldn't use
them day-to-day so would you actually
recommend buying these bearing in mind
that they cost about 130 dollars and
they're not over the UK so you've got to
get them sent over from the states yes I
wouldn't necessarily buy this model of
snapchat spectacles
Gen2 are potential horizon with a lot
more features I possibly will be a
little bit more intuitive for those
coming snapchat I would probably wait to
the generation 2 model to be honest ok
yeah I kind of agree and I kind of
disagree I think all the problems you've
got them I totally agree with those
where I think they'll be quite useful
especially for marketers is it's a good
opportunity to play around with this
perspective to get good at using this
format now before the everyone else
jumps on it with generation 2
so if anybody wants to get out of a pair
of spectacles how can I go about doing
it with great difficulty really as we
said earlier they're only available in
the US so when you buy them from the
website you need to have them delivered
to someone who lives in the US you're
going to Ford them onto you there are
some people selling on eBay but the
prices vary wildly and of course they're
a lot more expensive on there than there
than it would be directly from snapchat
