Snapchat Working on ‘Smart’ Glass Like the Google Glass

The Quint  

After changing the orthodox ways of chatting, video messaging application Snapchat is now reportedly working to give tough competition to Google with its own augmented reality “smart” glasses. According to reports, Snapchat has hired developers from major augmented reality groups like Microsoft’s HoloLens, PTC’s Vuforia and eye-tracking-tech-maker Eyefluence to make Snapchat’s pair of “smart” glasses. Snapchat later bought Vergence Labs, which produced a pair of glasses equipped with an embedded camera for $15 million in March 2014. Snapchat soon bought Scan.me for $50 million, a QR code-scanning/creating technology that would later manifest itself it the company’s Snaptags feature.
