Moshe Isaacian also got his hand on the video before it was removed and sent over some screenshots:
According to the screenshots, Snapchat is calling on artists to submit their portfolios to the company. Snap previously embraced artists for in-app geofilters, but its AR community has remained closed until now. That's quite unlike both Apple and Facebook, which have released developer platforms for AR.
Snap did not immediately respond to comment.
The clock reach 0:00 at 3 p.m. ET on Tuesday. That timing aligns perfectly with Snap CEO Evan Spiegel taking the stage at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit in Los Angeles.
While Spiegel taking an onstage interview is quite rare, its unveiling of something with a countdown clock mimics the launch of its hardware product Spectacles.
The development comes almost a year after the release of Spectacles. Snap debuted the video-camera glasses on Nov. 10 with its vending machine Snapbots nearby its headquarters in Venice, California. The company teased the product in an exclusive with The Wall Street Journalon Sept 24, where it also announced its name change to Snap Inc. and released a YouTube video of Spectacles.
The countdown clock is reminiscent of the individual drops of each of the Snapbots at locations in the United States and later overseas. In fact, Snap accompanied a countdown prior to it unveiling its first-ever storefront for Spectacles in New York City on Nov. 21.
