Smart glasses are a hot topic among technology enthusiasts at present, but one of the most controversial points is that the shooting function is too hidden. This even involves the issue of privacy, which once plunged Google Glass into the debate of "technology and privacy".

In Japan, a company called Thanko has instead launched a glasses camera. It seems that the user's demand for smart glasses...... Is still open to discussion.

The camera can insert a micro SD memory card at the fold of the glasses frame. And the micro lens is located at the edge of the glasses frame, which can shoot HD video, clearly as long as the photography function of smart glasses. The most important thing is that it is really hidden

Relevant parameters of "glasses camera":

• Size: 165 × 140 x 50 mm
• Weight: 60 g (2.1 oz)
• Image specification: 920 × 1080, 20-30 fps
• Power supply system: USB (built-in 160mA battery)
• Charging time: about 3 hours
• Memory: microSD (2-32GB)
• Support system: Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP
• System language: only Japanese

"Glasses" can support a maximum memory card capacity of 32GB, with built-in rechargeable 160 mAh lithium battery, so that the shooting time can last about 30 to 40 minutes. There is a switch inside the "glasses". The camera function can be activated by a "hold the glasses" action, which is nothing special in the eyes of others.

Google Glass gives people the feeling that it is not ordinary glasses at a glance. At the same time, in design, Google consciously shows people who come into contact with it that Google Glass has the functions of shooting and sharing.

But this glasses camera is different from Google Glass: the lens is hidden, manually operated, and what you see is what you shoot. On the surface, there is nothing unusual. It is a "magic tool" that provides some functions. (It is affectation, which is definitely "secret photography magic")

Although the actual shooting effect has not been evaluated in detail so far, if the shooting is conducted through the "glasses", perhaps the photographer himself does not have too many requirements for the shooting effect.
