Not sure how it's brilliant. Secondly, it still suffers from that fact that literally everyone is creeped out by a rando staring at them with two cameras. At least a phone is halfway obvious when in use.

Maybe the main market will eventually be little kids. This is obviously a toy after all, and who would ever be creeped out when ot is used in that context.

I'm guessing you haven't been the obvious standout (in terms of being different, not amazing) in a crowd.

I live in Thailand and having occasional locals who literally eye-ball fuck you without blinking because it's so novel for them to see a foreigner, I can tell you that someone just staring at you is creepy, regardless of their age.

Consider that:

- You have to visibly tap the glasses to record

- People don't usually wear sunglasses indoors or at night (Corey Hart excluded)

- You're probably overestimating the amount of people that actually care if they get snapchatted

-Nobody else knows that. -That means they can't be used more than half the time. -No, I'm not.
