Spectacles, which each record 10 seconds of video, is Snapchat’s first foray into hardware.
Snapchat’s past might be all about the ephemeral, but its future is apparently the physical.
The Venice Beach-based company, founded as an app for disappearing photos, is prepping the launch of a pair of smart sunglasses called Spectacles. Tapping on the glasses will record 10 seconds of video — shot by a 115-degree-angle lens — additional taps will add more time up to 30 seconds continuous. Spectacles will be connected wirelessly to a smart phone and can be saved in Snapchat Memories, where users can store a collection of photos and videos for repeat use. Click here for more
