SOCIAL media app Snapchat is introducing video-recording glasses called Spectacles, which can record video 10 seconds at a time by tapping a button on the device.
The video is then uploaded to the popular image-messaging app via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. The glasses are the first hardware from the Los Angeles-based company.
The glasses record so-called “circular video”, meaning it plays full-screen on any device in any orientation. They will be available in the US in the fall on a limited basis and cost $130.
The Spectacles recall Google’s venture into eyewear, Google Glass, which took photos and video. But that device also had a screen that let you surf the web as well and cost $1,500.
Google closed that venture in early 2015 after it received a tepid response from users.
