Snap, the company formerly known as "Snapchat," on
Saturday announced sunglasses that take videos through a built-in camera in the
frame.
Snap's Spectacles let users take 10-second videos by tapping
a button on the top left-hand corner of the eye frame. Users can tap on the
record button to record another 10-second segment. They can record videos up to
30 seconds long in all.
The videos can be stored locally or transmitted over WiFi or
Bluetooth to Android and iOS devices.
The spectacles can run for one day on a charge, according to
Snap, and are recharged by placing them in their case.
Spectacles will be available later this year for US$130,
including the case. The glasses will be offered in black, teal, and coral.
