Snapchat's very buzzed about new smart glasses are coming soon, and the only way to snap up a pair is to buy them directly from one of Snapchat's bots.

Spectacles offer the quickest way to save your in-the-moment memories directly to Snapchat wirelessly. There's no need to fumble with your phone, the app or anything that might hinder showing off that guy who is doing the Macarena in the supermarket.

The Spectacles come in three colours (Black, Coral and Teal) and even come with an LED ring on the front to make sure your snaps aren't compromised in low-light situations. The spectacles also charge while sitting in their case and will take about 100 ten-second snaps per charge.

The most interesting news about the Spectacles is that you have to buy them from one of their Snapbots, which is essentially a vending machine for Spectacles. True to Snapchat's now-or-never ethos, the bots will appear randomly throughout the US (sorry Canada, for now!) and you have to check your location on spectacles.com to see when a bot will be appearing in your neck of the woods.

Snapchat will also release a Geofilter in the area that a bot is located so that you don't miss your chance.

The Spectacles will be run you $129.99 + tax, but can you really put a price on on fun?
