Snapchat's Spectacles camera glasses generated a huge amount of hype when they were slowly released in 2016, but total sales were reportedly disappointing. But that isn't stopping the company from doubling down on the project: it just announced Spectacles 2.0 with design improvements and the ability to shoot still photos.
Following in the footsteps of Snapchat's Spectacles, there is a new kid on the block in the world of camera sunglasses: Acton. The company has created a new pair of sunglasses called ACE Eyewear that can shoot photos and videos and post them to Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram.
It's probably nowhere near the top of your photo gear wish list, but one of the "coolest" and most "in-demand" cameras in the world is finally available to purchase online: Snapchat's wearable Spectacles.
I’ve had my Snapchat Spectacles for a few weeks now, and I’m really impressed by the videos you can make with them.
Slapping a camera onto a pair of glasses isn't a new idea. But if Google Glass was too high tech for your taste and Snapchat Spectacles are just not your style, then you may want to give the PogoCam a once-over.
In September 2016, Snapchat changed it’s name to Snap Inc. and introduced Spectacles, a pair of sunglasses with a built-in camera that records 10-second snippets of video and posts directly to your Snapchat Story.
