Daily Dot:
When you think of Snapchat you probably don’t think of wearables, but that’s all about to change. The company—which just rebranded itself as Snap Inc., by the way—is launching a new line of high-tech eyewear called Spectacles.
The glasses, which come in several different colors but just one size, feature a pair of lenses that capture 10-second video clips. Recording is prompted by a small button on the top of the frame. A small circular ring of LEDs around one of the lenses lights up when you’re shooting a clip, letting everyone around you know that they’re being captured.
I’ll stick with my non-recording Oakleys.
If I see someone in a bathroom wearing these glasses in a restroom then we will have some heated words!
Looks like the heads of Snapchat are Elton John fans.
“A small circular ring of LEDs around one of the lenses lights up when you’re shooting a clip, letting everyone around you know that they’re being captured.”
At which point we can douse them with water, shorting the silly things out. Accidentally of course.
Oh goody! A new generation of Glassholes.
Why would you release sunglasses in autumn?
You could at least invest in some Oakleys…
Good god those are ugly. (and ha, another Nate pointing out your typo of “Oakelys”)
Fixed. Thanks.
Thought maybe it was a twist on the Foakleys for sale on the streets of Tijuana 🙂
