LOS ANGELES — Messaging app Snapchat plans to release sunglasses that record video later this fall. <br /> <br />Called Snapchat Spectacles, the shades have a camera with a 115-degree-angle lens, which is a wider angle than on a regular smartphone and closer to the eyes’ natural field of view, the Verge reported. <br /> <br />The glasses film circular videos that are 10 seconds long, and recording starts with the tap of a button. A light lets others know that the camera is rolling. <br /> <br />If you want to film for longer then you have to tap the button again, but the recording limit is 30 seconds per video. <br /> <br />Video can be played back in landscape or portrait mode and crops automatically. <br /> <br />The clips transfer by default to Snapchat Memories via Bluetooth on iOS devices. Android users can use Wi-Fi to upload video to their phones. <br /> <br />The company, which was recently renamed Snap Inc., said it will make a limited number of Snapchat Spectacles. They’ll come in black, teal and coral, and retail for about $130.
