Google Rolls Out Challenger To Snap's Spectacles

Venice, California-based Snap is about to get a big new challenger to its flagship "Spectacles" line, from none other than Google, as Google rolled out a new product called Google Clips over the weekend. Google's new product--"captures motion photos that last several seconds" and are designed to be held, clipped to clothing, or placed elsewhere. The new device--which is currently on waitlist at $249--uses artificial intelligence to recognize faces, and even pets like cats and dogs, and decide whether or not to take photos, and lets users share those with friends and family. Google's new device essentially aim at exactly the same market as Snap's Spectacles, which Snap says are designed to "capure and share the moment from your perspective".
