Just think. You'd be able to endlessly replay the moment she breaks up with you because she's tired of hanging with a nerdy-spec-wearing guy who's more interested in recording his awesome life than living it.
A somewhat brutal manifestation of the observer effect.
It is an amazing piece of technology though - I was lucky enough to try them out a couple of years ago. Probably way too early to reach the mass market. I would love to have a set today if there had been more app development for them.
The Snap Spectacles are just a cheap plastic toy compared to the now (3 or 4 year?) old Google Glass though.
I don't understand this obsession with recording everything on video. How many people go back and actually watch the mundane s*** they recorded while looking around through their glasses?
I still they they could have succeeded if they didn't become a "fashion" thing instead of a function thing (because why else would you wear glasses). Like those toe shoes.
Circular video format is the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time. EVERY SCREEN you can watch these videos on will be rectangular.
Just trying way too hard to "be different", "break with conventions", and "change things up", just for the sake of it. Really lame and forced.

it's so people who view those Snaps know that you were using Spectacles. The foundation of Snapchat is transparency and this fits in here too. It's like a piece of fashion that puts an image filter into physical form. it's a pet project not the future of the company.
you have no idea how many times per day young girls are snap chatting. one of them will get the glasses, there will be lots of up close pics of her friends boobs, we'll watch, we'll view ads.

Problem is, as with google glass, it does not film the idiot wearing this thing but everyone else...VERY bad idea especially as this is meant to be share all that stuff...lawsuits will pretty much outpace the salesnumbers.
Don't forget, it's usualy those pesky "older folks" that make the laws and enforce them in court...
Just lol. Do you believe that virtual reality will succeed too? And artificial intelligence? Please.
And this this "People will crave being filmed" now you're scaring me dude. I hope that you won't end up in a position of power anywhere.
Seeing a comment like this getting upvoted is making me baffled how gullible people really are.
Same basic issue as GoogleGlass as generally no-one likes wearing glasses. End of.
Dont knock it. If there is one thing i regret is not shooting more video 10-15 years ago instead of just taking zillions of pictures. Even a low-res 2 minute snippet of video is enough to "take you back" whereas pictures are just...pictures. And oddly its the mundane stuff thats the good stuff.
Interesting given how everyone else is running away from hardware and wants to be a service company.
On a side note, until these tech companies get a better understanding of fashion these "glasses" ideas will always fail.

Actually the head is one of the best places on the body to reduce camera shake.
Like G glass, people hated the invasion of privacy potential. At the beach, at the mall, etc....and for all the inappropriate and general creepiness of ' upskirting' photos, this is just as bad. A freaks dream and a decent person's worst nightmare. And ...I gotta tel ya, the weird expression on that CEO's face says it all....creepy guy....
