Philip Houska Inkampani ngemuva kwenkundla yezokuxhumana edumile i-Snapchat inqume ukuthatha izinyathelo ezimbili ezinkulu okufanele ziyiphushele phambili ekukhuleni kwayo. Ngaphansi kwegama elisha elithi Snap Inc., ngenxa yokuthi inkampani ifuna ukwethula eminye imikhiqizo, hhayi uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Snapchat kuphela, isanda kwethula ubusha bokuqala behadiwe. Lezi izibuko zelanga ezinesistimu yekhamera ye-Spectacles, okuhloswe ngayo ukuthi ingagcini nje njengesengezo kuhlelo lokusebenza lwendabuko, kodwa futhi ukukhombisa isiqondiso sesikhathi esizayo sale mboni ethile.
Kuze kube manje, igama elithi Snapchat belisetshenziswa hhayi kuphela kuhlelo lokusebenza oludumile emhlabeni wonke, kodwa nasenkampanini uqobo. Kodwa-ke, isikhulu esiphezulu sayo u-Evan Spiegel uthe abantu abaningi namuhla bahlobanisa kuphela uhlelo lokusebenza nohlaka olumhlophe lwesipoki kungemuva eliphuzi nohlobo lwe-Snapchat, yingakho kwasungulwa inkampani entsha ye-Snap. Ngeke nje ibe nesicelo seselula se-Snapchat ngaphansi kwayo, kodwa futhi nemikhiqizo emisha yehadiwe, njenge-Spectacles.
Ekuqaleni, kufanelekile ukwengeza ukuthi i-Google isivele yazama umqondo ofanayo nge-Glass yayo, okuyinto, noma kunjalo, ayizange iphumelele futhi yaphela ngaphandle kokuthanda okuningi. I-Snap's Spectacles ihloselwe ukuhluka. Azihloselwe ukuba zibe ukumiselela okuqinisekile kwekhompuyutha noma ifoni, kodwa kunalokho njengesengezo ku-Snapchat esizuza esicini esiyinhloko - ikhamera.

Isistimu yekhamera i-alpha ne-omega yalo mkhiqizo. Iqukethe amalensi amabili ane-engeli yobubanzi engu-115 degrees, atholakala kwesokunxele nakwesokudla sezingilazi. Ukuzisebenzisa, umsebenzisi angathwebula amavidiyo wemizuzwana eyi-10 (ngemuva kokucindezela inkinobho efanelekile, lesi sikhathi singanyuswa ngesikhathi esifanayo, kodwa umkhawulo wesigamu somzuzu), ozolayishwa ngokuzenzakalelayo ku-Snapchat, ngokulandelana Isigaba sezinkumbulo.
Umbono we-Snap uwukunikeza abanikazi be-Spectacles umuzwa wokudubula oyiqiniso. Njengoba ebekwe eduze kwamehlo futhi amalensi awo ekhamera anomumo oyindilinga, umphumela ucishe ufane nefomethi ye-fisheye. Uhlelo lokusebenza luzonqamula ividiyo futhi kuzokwazi ukuyibuka kokubili ngomfanekiso nangokwakheka kwezwe.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, inzuzo ye-Spectacles ukuthi kungenzeka ukwenza ifilimu nabo ngisho nangaphandle kokuba khona kwe-smartphone, lapho i-footage ilayishwa khona ku-Snapchat. Izibuko ziyakwazi ukugcina okuqukethwe okuthwebuliwe kuze kube yilapho sezixhunywe ocingweni futhi zidluliswa.
Izibuko zizosebenza nazo zombili i-iOS ne-Android, kodwa uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-Apple lunenzuzo yokuthi amavidiyo amafushane angashicilelwa ngokuqondile ezingilazini kusetshenziswa i-Bluetooth (uma idatha yeselula isebenza), nge-Android udinga ukulinda ukubhanqa nge-Wi-Fi.
Impilo yebhethri ibalulekile kumkhiqizo ofana nezibuko zekhamera. I-Snap ithembisa ukusebenza kosuku lonke, futhi uma kwenzeka idivayisi iphelelwa amandla futhi ungekho umthombo wamandla, kuzokwazi ukusebenzisa icala elikhethekile (emigqeni ye-AirPods), engashaja kabusha ama-Spectacles izikhathi ezine. Ama-diode atholakala ngaphakathi asetshenziselwa ukukhombisa ibhethri eliphansi. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, zisebenza njengesiqiniseko sokuthi umsebenzisi uyaqopha.
Okungenani ekuqaleni, nokho, ukutholakala okumpofu kufanele kulindelwe. Izibuko zekhamera ze-Snapchat zizokhawulelwa kakhulu ngokwesitoko ezinyangeni ezimbalwa zokuqala, futhi ngoba, njengoba u-Evan Spiegel ebonisa, kuzothatha ukujwayela umkhiqizo onjalo. I-Snap izokhokhisa u-$129 ngepheya eyodwa, kungaba okumnyama, okuphuzi, noma okubomvu kwekhorali, kodwa akukaziwa kahle ukuthi izothengiswa nini futhi kuphi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ezinye izinto azaziwa, njengokuthi ikhwalithi ewumphumela yokuqukethwe okutholiwe izoba yini, ukuthi ngeke yini ingangeni manzi nokuthi zingaki empeleni ezizonikezwa ngokusemthethweni ukudayiswa ezinyathelweni zokuqala.
Kunoma ikuphi, ngalo mkhiqizo ogqokekayo, i-Snap iphendula endaweni ehlala ivela ye-multimedia, lapho ngisho nabancintisana nabo abakhulu bebandakanyeka. I-Facebook iyona eyinhloko. Phela, uMark Zuckerberg uqobo, inhloko yenkundla yezokuxhumana enkulu kunazo zonke emhlabeni, uthe amavidiyo anamandla okuba indinganiso yokuxhumana kanjalo. I-Snapchat ithembela kulesi sici futhi yasenza yaduma. Ngokufika kwezibuko zekhamera ze-Spectacles, inkampani ayikwazanga ukukhiqiza kuphela inzuzo eyengeziwe, kodwa futhi yabeka ibha entsha ekuxhumaneni kwevidiyo. Yisikhathi kuphela esizosho ukuthi ama-Spectacles azosebenza ngempela yini.
