Snapchat extends from the app world landing for the first time in the wearable device world with its super geek glasses that allow you to record video of 10 seconds by pressing a button on the hinge.
Spectacles, that’s name of the glasses, should be on sale later this year at a cost of $ 130 in 3 colors: black, coral and tea leaf.
Recorded video will be “circular”, with a viewing angle of 115 ° similar to that of the human eye, will go directly to “Memories” via bluetooth or wi-fi and will be visible on the app in full screen either vertically in horizontal. The battery life will be about one day.
Interviewed in the Wall Street Journal, Evan Spiegel, founder of Snapchat and CEO of Snap Inc, the new name of the company, explained that the Spectacles will not be offered for sale in large quantities: the company wants first to see if the glasses will be successful and how they will be used.
From the design point of view, there is nothing new: they could well be mistaken for an ordinary pair of glasses apart for the two small cameras to the sides of the frame, but perhaps it could also be a strength… do you agree?
