Snapchat will release Snapchat Spectacles
(Mirror Daily, United States) Snap Inc announced a new product from the company on September 23. The high-tech pair of sunglasses is called Snapchat Spectacles, and it seems to make amends for similar products which failed before. The new Snapchat device will be released this autumn, and it will come only in a limited edition.
The new pair of Snapchat Spectacles provides users with an exciting experience. They can capture short videos with the help of a tiny camera, placed in the corner of one of the lenses. There are so many possibilities with this new product, and you can have videos of special, unique or funny moments just as you pass them by. Moreover, you also look cool while doing it.
With Snapchat Spectacles, filming has never been easier. There is no need for you to hold a camera, be it a professional device or just your mobile phone. You have your hands free and all you have to do is look in the right direction to capture your favorite moments on a video.
The Snapchat Spectacles can be turned on by pushing a button at the corner of the lens. The device also connects to a smartphone. Here is where the videos are stored, and you can take as many as you like. The duration of the footage is ten seconds.
What is even more interesting is that the videos made with Snapchat Spectacles provide you with your own perspective of the events. Watching the video is like re-experiencing the moment of the filming. Developers have been testing prototypes for a year now, and they have experienced the sensation too. This is what they aimed for with the new product.
As far as the price is concerned, the estimated starting point is approximately $130. It is much more affordable that a similar product by Google, which was released four years ago. Google Glasses had a slightly different purpose, namely searching for information on the Internet while wearing them. The device could be purchased for $1,500, but customers were not thrilled about it.
Snapchat Spectacles seem to have more advantages than the device powered by Google. Snap Inc offers a lower price, a more attractive design and more useful functions. The official release date hasn’t been announced yet, but the new device will be available for users soon.
