Snapchat, which is now a subset of Snap Inc., has just announced their newest product. This product is a pair of sunglasses with a built-in camera. These glasses allow the user to take videos that can then be sent via their Snapchat app on their phone. This allows for the user to take videos, fairly hands-free, from their perspective. They call this product Spectacles.
How Does it Work?
As you can see from this video, it is very easy, and as the video suggests, fun to use their new product. It allows you to capture the moment while still being in it. This means that you can have more fun enjoying yourself and still have the ability to share and relive your experiences.
These glasses allow you to take ten second videos, reasonably hands-free. By that I mean that all you have to do is press the button to start recording. After that, it records and send the video to the memories action of your app. From there you can send it to whoever you wish.
The spectacles send video directly to your phone via Bluetooth or Wifi. It also is taking advantage of their new circular video format that allows you to view it in any orientation as well as with a 115 degree view. This will greatly increase the shared experience.
The glasses themselves can be charged using their carrying case or via a wall plug. Supposedly the case can charge the glasses four times when it is fully charged.
Where Can You Learn More About Spectacles?
You can learn more about them from their official site or from the Snap Inc. website. Snap Inc. also wrote a news update on their new product. You can also check out the Snapchat website.
