Want to feel like you are watching the world from your favorite blogger or tweeters eyes? Now this is possible with a new technological invention similar to a helmet camera. ZionEyez has just announced the launch of their new product Eyez. These are sunglasses that video what the wearer is looking at and can be directly uploaded to social media sites. The glasses can use either bluetooth or usb to instantly upload video to the users favorite site. ZionEyez is hoping to capitalize on the trend of social media by taking a concept many others have tried before, helmet camera/ eyewear camera and making it easy to upload and send out. The product comes with a 3 hours of battery life, records in HD video, has a built in microphone, usb port, bluetooth, 16G memory, wifi, and removable lenses. The glasses comes with an app for smart phones and tablet application. Updates in real time are possible and gives social media viewers a first person experience that has been thus far not available. Imagine a blogger going to an event and literally taping what they witness and then they not only can blog about it later, but have video in a great quality.
According to co-founder of ZionEyez LLC, Evan Lindquist, “Dad can broadcast his son’s game-winning catch to out-of-town family members so they can all cheer him on in real time. Outdoor enthusiasts will finally be able to stream themselves kayaking, mountain climbing, or snowboarding. A college student can record lectures to study for an exam and then later that night capture the highlights of his campus party scene.” The drawback to this product is that not everyone wants to be filmed and the wearer may not use this for a good purpose. The discreet nature of the product makes it very similar to what critics have called it, James Bond glasses. Where the wearer can record things without anyone ever catching on.
Just take a look for yourself
