With only 100k users they would generate approximately 9BN images per month (30FPS min, 10sec Snaps, average 10 snaps per day).

With 1M users of spectacles (.6% of their current MAU), that's potentially 90BN images per month and over a trillion per year. In the same dataset. Machine vision wet dream.




There is no way the average user is shooting full 10s snaps 10x day. I use Snapchat regularly and that describes the top eschelon of users, which might be Spectacles users, but probably not all of them. I believe that is a vast overestimate.


As with most statistics it's likely normally distributed. I know teens send/receive in the hundreds per day - mind boggling really - and the celeb accounts post dozens daily. Even back in 2013 the numbers were staggering.

Nitpick: I would strongly expect that the number of snaps sent/received per day is exponentially distributed over the space of users, not normally.
