Snap's Spectacles went on sale in U.S. at 10 a.m. (PT) Thursday with hundreds of people lining up to get their hands on clip-capturing face wear, but it sold out quickly. 

The $129 video sunglasses had a spectacular debut in California when it hit the streets, and eBay.

Those who were lucky enough to have grabbed some from a bright yellow vending machine gave some details about the way it works.

Jameson Detweiler, co-founder and CEO of AR startup Fantasmo.io, told TC what it is like to use the Spectacles:

"So I'm not a huge Snapchat user, but I'm building an AR startup, so clearly I need to be playing with these. And they're a blast. I actually think this is going to get me to use Snapchat more," he said.

The Spectacles gets charged in the case, and there are around four full charges stored in the case's battery. The case can be charged with a wire connected to the wall.

Business Insider discovered a patent a few days ago that details the charging method, which consists of contacts within the arm of the glasses. This does make sense because true inductive charging needs a coil, which would necessitate extra hardware and complexity in both the case and the glasses.

To use the Snapchat Spectacles, you hit a switch on top to start the snap, that lasts 10 seconds or (probably) till you tap again

Before the US, the Snapbot pop-up vending machine's location was Venice Beach.

The vending apparatus will be moving from this place to an undisclosed place that has not been declared. Snapchat recommends "spectacles.com" to find the next spot where the machine will be taken to.
