Sold for $129, the glasses have captured the imaginations of Snapchat users who, when equipped with the glasses, can take Snaps in 10 second increments (extensions up to 30 seconds are broken up into three 10-second sequences) when the device is paired via Bluetooth to the Snapchat app on your smartphone.

Although the glasses come in black, teal and coral, they aren't exactly high fashion. But they look normal enough (yes, we're looking at you, Google Glass) that we're likely to see many on the streets in the coming months.

Encouraging Snapchat users to find Snapbots not only harnesses the GPS-powered facility of mobile culture, it also seems to be generating a mix of pop-up store exclusivity with the excitement of finding a rare Pokémon.

And unlike Google's strategy of making the high-priced Glass invite-only to generate interest, Snap's method of gamifying the process of buying the device is turning it into a cool curiosity instead of an awkward, geeks-only wearable.
