Snap, the new name for Snap Chat, is rolling out it’s first set of hardware for it’s beloved app. Spectacles. And while they’re glasses that take video, that’s where the similarities to Google glass end.
Snap (the new company name) points out that a recording light goes on the glasses to alert people that they are being captured, in ten-second bites. The company describes Spectacles as “the best way to make memories … hands-free, with the simple tap of a button.” It has put up a website to announce the product, Spectacles.com, and says the video glasses will be “landing soon.” It hasn’t supplied ordering information.
The glasses will run you about $130, but will finally take that phone out from in front of your face. I like it!
