Snapchat is no more.<\/p>\n

On Friday, the company announced <\/a><\/strong>it would be changing its name to Snap Inc. and would be focusing on markets outside of the Snapchat app.<\/p>\n

Snap Inc’s first big product will be the “Spectacle”, a pair of video sunglasses that promise to surpass any video shot by your smartphone.<\/p>\n

“The Snapchat Spectacles record 10-second clips of video through their 115-degree-angle lens, which makes it closer to the human eye instead of traditional cameras,” reports The Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“The glasses record the video in a circular field instead of the usual rectangle or square and can then wirelessly transfer it your phone, so you can share it with your friends on Snapchat.”<\/p>\n

A pair of Spectacles will reportedly set you back $129 (R1,768)<\/strong>. There is currently no official release date.<\/p>\n
