According to the company, the glasses will make it easy to create memories with the help of  one of the smallest wireless video cameras in the world that can capture a day’s worth of Snaps on a single charge.

The glasses connect directly to Snapchat via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and transfer a user’s Memories directly into the app. The new circular video feature will play full screen on any device, in any orientation, and captures the human perspective with a 115-degree field of view.

Spectacles will be available in three colors and to the public soon.
