Each visit will last about a day.

In the Snapchat app a Spectacles Geofilter will be available if a bot is throughout. You’ll need to have location services on to see Geofilters, though.

You’ll be able to virtually try on Spectacles

If you’re not sure which smart Spectacles to choose, you’ll be able to virtually try on any pair of glasses above the bot. Spectacles come in black, teal and coral. (You can also try them on through the Snapchat app.)
