The Snapchat changed his name: he now calls himself simply Snap. In addition, the social network will launch a gadget, called Spectacles. This is a pair of glasses to be able to record videos and do the automatic sharing on the Internet, but without the attraction of augmented reality as it was expected.
WhatsApp Beta gets features of Snapchat; how to use
Well, that was just a rumor became a reality. The announcement was made on the official blog of the company in this Saturday (24). In addition to the device, the company also explained the change in name. Now the company passes to only call Snap – but the app continues to be called Snapchat. The new name, according to the press release, better reflects the current phase of the company that shall invest in hardware and not only in the application.
But anyone who hoped that the glasses of Snapchat would come as a competitor of weight for the Google Glass will be disappointed. After all, the gadget is only focused on recording, and does not bring anything related to augmented reality or virtual.
However, the Spectacles do not cease to be a good bet, especially for the price and the lack of devices of this type with a affordable cost. The glasses will cost$ 130, something around R$ 420 at the current exchange rate, that is, practically the price of a sunglasses brand in Brazil.
The smart accessory will be available in three different colors and brings a lens to be able to record at an angle of 115 degrees. The glasses is able to record up to 30 seconds of video at a time in circular form.
The attraction is in the connectivity. The Spectacles brings Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and can automatically transfer the videos to the application of Snapchat. More details like battery capacity and the resolution of the videos have not yet been disclosed, as well as the start of sales and if it will be available outside of the United States.
