Spectacles record circular video
Snap Inc.’s Spectacles are glasses that come with a built-in Snap video camera, the company says. That video is saved in a new circular video format that plays full screen on other products.
The video is recorded through a 115-degree-angle lens that more closely matches the eyes’ natural field of vision.
Spectacles record 10 seconds at a time when the wearer taps a button on the top left-hand corner of the glasses. To add more time, the wearer can tap again to record up to 30 seconds of continuous video. To stop recording, press and hold the same button.
There’s a light that will let the person wearing the glasses and people around them know the Specs are recording.
They connect to Snapchat
Of course, Spectacles connect to Snap Inc.’s other product: Snapchat.
Snaps taken through Specs save to the product without the use of a phone. But the videos also transfer wirelessly to Snapchat, where they’re saved to Memories. On an iOS device, the videos transfer over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. On Android, they transfer through Wi-Fi. That’s where you can watch the Snaps you recorded while wearing Specs.
