Snapchat releases sunglasses! Is this real life?
It’s real life guys!
Snapchat have released their very first hardware product – a one-size-fits-all pair of sunglasses called Spectacles that can record 10 seconds of video at a time.
Rad?
We’re not sure yet.
The glasses have been in development for years, having been personally tested by CEO Evan Spiegal for the past year.
Here’s how they work:
Tap a button near a hinge, and the Spectacles record for 10 seconds with a 115-degree-angle lens in a circular format. Video will sync wirelessly to a paired iPhone or other smartphone.
From the Sauce, the man himself, talking about a vacation with his girlfriend, Miranda Kerr:
“It was our first vacation, and we went to Big Sur for a day or two. We were walking through the woods, stepping over logs, looking up at the beautiful trees. And when I got the footage back and watched it, I could see my own memory, through my own eyes—it was unbelievable. It’s one thing to see images of an experience you had, but it’s another thing to have an experience of the experience. It was the closest I’d ever come to feeling like I was there again.”
In line with branching out past the Snapchat app, the company has also changed it’s name to Snap, Inc.
The glasses will launch this fall with limited distribution, cost $130 and come in three colors: teal, black and coral.
We’ve decided: Rad. Teal please.
