The shades have a camera on the front of the frames, and they allow POV photo and video capturing. The shades feature a 14.2 MP camera. The most important part of the glasses are its arms where most of the tech is housed. On one side of the arms, a battery is housed, and it will endure a full day of picture taking or proximately one hour of recording. On the other side, a chipset and a micro SD memory card slot are housed. The memory card has 32 GB. You can snap off the end of the arms where you will be able to find a micro USB, which is used for charging the shades and transferring media. Users can transfer the media via WiFi to the supporting iOS or Android application.

To be able to take pictures or to record user have to press the button on the side of the frames. When you start the camera, it will boot up with the latest mode a person used. The glasses come with a few modes; three modes are used for video recording and one is a still mode used for taking pictures. Each mode is color coded, and users can see a matching LED light within the glasses. LED light is also used to alert users when in video recording mode by blinking continuously and when in picture mode by making just one blink.

The company did not just perfect the shades to be great for recording and taking pictures; they focused on physical appearance as well. These sunglasses can be mistaken for a regular pair of glasses. Lyte puts great efforts making everyone happy and has developed a Fashion version (Fashion Glass) of the shades. We can expect the release of the glasses soon in early spring in UK first, and not long after the device will be launched globally with the expected price around $249.

Both versions will have the same rechargeable battery (Li-Ion 680mAh), and both versions will be made from the same material; Grilamid TR90, which is durable and strong.
