I understand that I don't even get Snapchat, so I'm not the target for this, but wow, that is not even sort of interesting.
You have to disconnect your phone from WiFi to connect to the glasses' WiFi to transfer data? I'm not interested in trying to get those glasses connected to WiFi, but I'm also not sure this is a better option.
I don't think I'm the target market either, but it seems to be a good fit as a GoPro competitor. At least in as much as people are often buying GoPros for Point-of-view vacation videos.
(And GoPros also use wifi to download, which is what me made me think of it in reply to you.)
do you have to connect to the GoPro's wifi network?
I just don't get it... Let me plug the camera into my laptop (or phone through bluetooth I guess) and set it up to connect to My home wifi, or my beach house's wifi and I'm done.
GoPros create an AP and host a Cherokee server in it to serve contents of the SD card. Transferring over Bluetooth is slow. Other alternatives are using your phone's Micro SD slot, buying GoPro Quik Key or other SD card reader for USB C/Lightning USB, or paying 5$/mo for GoPro's Plus service which uploads the media straight from the camera to their cloud using an existing WiFi network.
I made an app that uses computer vision to help people track what they eat with computer vision. I'd love to have these if they opened up an API so that we could make the experience 100% passive.
Right now our users still have to pull out their phone and take a picture when they're eating and it turns out that a lot of people forget to do it.
I'd also be interested in something like the spectacles but as a small clip on camera that I could stick on any glasses / my shirt. Google clip is a bit too big.
I bought a $28 smart outlet. You open up the app, press a button on the outlet for 5 seconds, and they are sync'd. You add your WiFi password. Now, obviously the outlet is stationary, whereas your glasses move with you. So you'd think you would sync to your phone with bluetooth, and let it do the uploading.
Oh. The article. It does sync over bluetooth. 7-second press of a button. Makes sense. Where did you see that you have to disconnect your phone WiFi?
"Syncing to your phone now just requires Bluetooth and a seven-second press of the shutter button, rather than a shoddy QR code scan. Exports always happens [sic] in HD over Specs’ internal Wi-Fi now"
huh... I never got around to buying one but always thought it would be interesting to try... I'm probably imagining it being more of a bother than I guess it actually is.
