Polaroid's GL 20 Gaga Camera Glasses
John Mahoney
Lifecasting devices are interesting--you wear them as they unobtrusively capture photos, video, sound (or all three) as you make sandwiches, walk the dog, or perform Bad Romance in Rome for 50,000 people. Although "unobtrusive" really isn't the idea behind Polaroid's GL20 Gaga-designed camera glasses, which take and display interval-shot photos taken with a lens on the bridge.
Gaga teamed up with Polaroid starting last year, and the world is finally seeing the fruits of this delightful instance of corporate synergy. A Gaga-designed portable Zink printer and an SX-70-inspired digital camera with built-in Zink printer and a flip up display for displaying the pictures should reach retail later this year as well.

Should somebody do a study with monkeys before this goes public?
Gag should stick to her day job. Those things look like those oversized glasses that senior citizens in Arizona. If I could attach a picture I would.
No seriously that is by far the ugliest product I have ever seen come out with any intent to actually sell.
POPSCI you still suck with this captcha thing. I'm heading to another site more and more because you make it retarded to post here.
not so sure she should even stick with that day job
They look like some brainwashing hypno-shades.
Lady Gaga Shows Off Camera Sunglasses
Lady Gaga reveals her fans were the inspiration for her camera sunglasses which she unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. http://www.newslook.com/videos/281271-lady-gaga-shows-off-camera-sunglasses?autoplay=true
One more useless thing. Gee.
There would be a benefit to a sleek, small pair of glasses whose lenses doubled as cameras that would take photos, good ones.
The camera lens on the bridge of Gaga glasses should be the lens itself having a double function.
It would be cool if a sensor was put in one that would lower to where your eyes do that way it will see as you see and take exactly what you see.
Then to respond to taking a photo with timed blinking.
A very small memory card should go in a slit in the bridge and they should be solar powered.(take this one on inventors)
These are atrocious and huge, tacky, and the video lenses are terrible. A fashion miss. A tech miss, with room to evolve into something better.
