The first time I have seen a Snapchat Spectacles video this acronym came in my mind, “What You See Is What I see” – the WYSIWIS experience. And this is what amazed me from the first moment: I can make you see, what I see!
I truly believe that any tech insights should be judged by the user experience. Can I imagine to use this technology? YES, the Spectacles are actually a pair of cool sunglasses apparently equipped with a camera. Do I feel comfortable using the technology? YES, with one push I can take pictures or record videos what are exported to my Snapchat account immediately. Does the technology have any added value to my life? YES, I can capture and share experiences, what I could never do before.
Imagine a cooking show, where instead of looking at the cook you can see with his eyes how to create the food. Or a travel documentary where you can actually see what the place really looks for a tourist. Amazing, isn’t it? While VR is a great piece of technology it is definitely not ready for a commercial use. Wearables like Snapchat Spectacles are cool and totally worth the investment.
Well, here is my gadget tip for the Summer holidays! 🙂
For the 12th consecutive year, the top online video experts will gather to share their knowledge and learn about the business, technology and content of online video. SLS, the owner and operator of live streaming platforms, and advisor on online video projects, will also attend the event!
