I’m kind of in love.

On Friday, Snapchat CEO Evan Spiegel has rebranded the bajillion dollar company to Snap Inc.! But if you thought Snapchat was going anywhere soon, you’re hella wrong. And to really prove it, the company has revealed the long rumoured glasses project; Spectacles.

Here’s what we know about these babies:

 

Spectacles record circular video

MEANING, you won’t have to worry about the glasses recording in landscape of portrait mode (see tweet below). The company also says the video will play in full screen on any device. Spectacles will record 10 second videos when the wearer taps a button on the top left corner of the glasses, and a light on the right side of the glasses will turn on when wearer is recording.

 


The glasses connect to Snapchat 

I mean, obviously. If these babies recorded video but didn’t upload them right to your Snapchat story, why even buy them?!?!

 

They will cost $130

Spectacles will be available this fall (so hopefully soon) for a limited time, but don’t get them confused with Google Glasses, that cost a hefty $1500 when they first came out. CEO Evan Spiegel says the whole idea is just a fun addition to Snapchat, and he really wants it to free up users hands so their phone isn’t like “a wall in front of your face”!

 

They come in 3 colours (pictured above) and charge in their case

Honestly, when I first looked at these, I thought they were crazy. But now I totally want a pair. Check out more in the videos below!
