Snap Inc.’s Spectacles comes with secret AR filter

We love a good Easter Egg in our tech products and it seems Snap Inc. has been able to hide a useful one in its wearable. The Spectacles have a hidden filter that’s basically an implementation of augmented reality. The tweet by Moshe Isaacian shows that once you point the glasses at the lettering on its protective case, it shows floating bubbles with what looks like snaps of other people or something that Snap Inc. has curated. While not groundbreaking, it shows what else Snap Inc. and Snapchat can do with the hard-to-find smart glasses.

Found a cool @Spectacles secret! If you point your Snapchat camera at package's lettering, it gives you a special filter!

‘Avatar 2’ might be coming to theaters December 2018

Nine years after the original Avatar film came out might be the next release date for the upcoming sequel. Fox pegs the release date at December 21, 2018. This isn’t the first time it’s been rumoured that the film is coming out around Christmas 2018 and so far that’s when we really might see the movie. Director James Cameron has said it’s more important for him that the upcoming movies be released as close together as possible, so if this gets pushed back again, don’t be as surprised. “If it’s an annual appointment to show up at Christmas. I want to make sure that we’re able to fulfill on that promise.” Cameron is also pushing to release Avatar 2 and the other films using glasses-free 3D technology.
