Technology not just eases your life but also makes it much cooler, just look at Snapchat which is set to introduce its first ever gadget, sunglasses with a built-in camera.
The shades inspired by countless spy movies would hit the shelves, in the later part of this year with a price tag of $130.
The glasses, called ‘Spectacles,’ can record up to 10 seconds of video, using a 115-degree-angle lens camera that is identical to a human eye's natural field of view. You can record another clip by tapping of a button situated on the upper edge of the left lens.
"We're going to take a slow approach to rolling them out," told Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel. "It's about us figuring out if it fits into people's lives and seeing how they like it."
Explaining the idea behind the creation of Spectacles, Spiegel in an interview to the Wall Street Journal said, "It was our first vacation, and we went to (Californian state park) Big Sur for a day or two. We were walking through the woods, stepping over logs, looking up at the beautiful trees.
"And when I got the footage back and watched it, I could see my own memory, through my own eyes - it was unbelievable…It’s one thing to see images of an experience you had, but it’s another thing to have an experience of the experience. It was the closest I’d ever come to feeling like I was there again," he added.
However, this is not the first attempt by tech companies to add features into a regular glass, one cannot forget Google Glass, which was a devastating failure by the search giant in its attempt to create smart glasses.
