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! 🙂
Amazon opened its first concept store to the public on January 22, 2018. According to a promotional video published by the company, the store uses several technologies, including computer vision, deep learning algorithms, and sensor fusion to automate much of the purchase, checkout, and payment steps associated with a retail transaction.
