Snapchat Spectacles review - YouTube

"There is a word" The best camera is what we already have (eye) "," says Scene Okane of The Verge.

"According to that adage, Spectacles that can shoot like vision can be said to be the best camera."

Spectacles is a sunglass-type wearable camera released by Snap.

Two cameras are mounted next to the lens, so you can shoot the same image as the line of sight. You can shoot movies of 10 seconds by simply pressing the button on the lens. Also, each time you press the button, the recording time will increase by 10 seconds and you can shoot movies up to 30 seconds.

"Spectacles is the best tool for people who like to take pictures with you anywhere anytime," Okane says.

Of course, you can share images taken with Spectacles with Snapchat. Also, since you can store the shot image on your smartphone, you can post it to other SNS such as Instagram.

There are three scenes Spectacles is good at.

One is a "trial type" scene.

Another is a "face-to-face" scene that will meet someone.

And, "I want to memorize" scenes are three.

In particular, since Spectacles can be used hands-free, you can shoot pictures that could not be realized with previous cameras, for example by hitting a ball at the batting center.

With a wide angle lens of 115 degrees, you can shoot natural images as well as landscape shots as they appear in sight.

When taking a movie with Spectacles, the periphery of the lens emits with a white LED and tells the surroundings what you are shooting. Mr. Okane believes that it is a good decision to adopt a bright white color, compared with conventional red indicator lamps.

Although Spectacles can shoot at 60 fps, it is said that it is never a high-performance camera that looks good. However, Mr. Okane evaluates that it is fairly satisfied with the deki of the photographed movie because it can naturally extract daily scenes at the gaze level.

The point where it is easy to capture the scene reflected in the field of vision that was impossible with previous cameras is extremely powerful and it seems to be attractive even in a scene that is nothing common in everyday life taken with Spectacles.

Dr. Okane's dog already recognized cameras such as iPhone, he said that he often took a decisive scene and missed it. However, using Spectacles, it became possible to shoot a movie full of emotions such as skin ship with pet dog.

However, there are problems. One is a matter of time it takes to transfer to a smartphone application paired with a movie taken with Spectacles.

If you transfer a movie of 10 seconds, you can transfer it in less than 10 seconds, but taking pictures of Spectacles is often too much of taking pictures too much, so when you transfer a large number of movies of dozens , I felt it was annoying for more than 10 minutes and it was annoying. In addition, by transferring files with Spectacles, iPhone 7 which is using everyday seems that the battery reduction speed has increased by about 10%.

Furthermore, there is a problem with the application UI.

In movies taken with Spectacles, thumbnails will not be displayed unless you open tabs on the days managed by tabs on a daily basis, so it may be difficult to find the movie you want, so when posting to Snapchat you will need a smartphone Okane says it will take three to four times longer when using the camera.

Okane who gives Spectacles a very high evaluation although there are problems such as camera image quality and usability of the application.

Snap has been evaluated as being a camera company from a software company, but Spectacles, a camera that cuts out sight, is very attractive as a camera.

A wearable camera "Spectacles" that can shoot a 10-second viewpoint movie with one touch and post to Snapchat is on sale for $ 129.99 (about 14,000 yen).

However, at the time of article creation, we adopt the limited selling method that we can buy only at Spectacles sales office called "BOT" appearing all over the United States.
