Snapchat is expanding and its new idea could change your next selfie. Snapchat is an app that allows you to send short videos to your friends. And the best part? They disappear after only a few seconds. Now the company announced it is changing its name to Snap Inc. And debuting its first hardware product. Called Spectacles the new product is a pair of glasses with a button near the hinge that records up to ten seconds of video from your vantage point. Each new tap of the button will record another ten seconds of video. CEO Evan Spiegel says the spectacles use a 115 degree angle lens that is wider than a typical smartphone and much closer to the eyes’ natural field of view. The video it records is circular similar to a person’s vision plus it keeps your hands free to actually enjoy the moment you are trying to hold onto. Spiegel says the spectacles are just under $130 and right now are only available on a limited basis. And these recordings won’t disappear.Snapchat Changes
