Snapchat’s Long-Rumored Smart Sunglasses Are On The Way

Get ready, soon the whole world will be under surveillance. Check this out, Snapchat will soon have the world, millennials for sure, running around snapping every moment of their life with a pair of sunglasses on.

The 30-second spot is light on details but clearly shows the glasses capturing videos, which are then shared via a smartphone. It’s not clear whether these video are shared via Snapchat or another app — the clip shows videos in landscape mode, which would be a departure from Snapchat’s vertical video format.
