Instagram + spectacles = Instaglasses

Designer Markus Gerke has come up with a new design concept for a pair of glasses, called the Instaglasses, designed to bring Instagram effects to users' spectacles, Geeky Gadgets reports.

The idea is that users can press a button on the glasses to choose between different filters, and can then take a photo of what they are seeing and upload the photo direct to Instagram.

According to Bang Style, the glasses will also feature a built-in 5MP camera and WiFi capability.

Like the app's most popular effects, the design of the glasses are retro looking, with an almost “aviator” style and the infamous tri-coloured logo that belongs to Instagram.

The eyewear gadget would incorporate greater functionality and popular technology into sunglasses in an even more seamless way, Mashable notes.

This concept could be taken a step further, and the glasses would capture the world with Instagram filters in video format. Although Instagram hasn't ventured into video, this would be a unique way for the company to disrupt the marketplace once again.
