The most notable feature, however -- and as the name suggests -- is their ability to take a selfie. Users just need to place their smart phone anywhere they like and click the shutter button at the top of their sunglasses to take a photo. The selfie glasses work with all camera modes: video, slow-mo, time-lapse and timer. When the product is purchased on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mobile-camera-lens), buyers also receive a 'Smart Sticker' which helps to secure the phone on most objects or walls for the best shot. Considering WeOn selfie glasses are both fashionable and functional, consumers might find this to be a great alternative to the selfie stick when they're out and about. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.1/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Smart Glasses:** The rise of smart glasses equipped with innovative features like built-in cameras and photo-taking capabilities opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation in the wearable technology industry. - **Selfie Technology:** The integration of selfie-taking capabilities into everyday objects, such as sunglasses, presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the consumer electronics industry. - **Hands-free Photography:** The demand for hands-free photography solutions, like the WeOn selfie glasses, creates opportunities for disruptive innovation in the mobile accessories market. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Wearable Technology:** The integration of photo-snapping capabilities into smart glasses suggests a disruptive innovation potential within the wearable technology industry. - **Consumer Electronics:** The development of photo-taking sunglasses introduces disruptive innovation possibilities in the consumer electronics market. - **Mobile Accessories:** The demand for hands-free photography solutions, like the WeOn selfie glasses, suggests disruptive innovation opportunities in the mobile accessories industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Attachable Eyewear Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spatial-video-camera.md) - [Genie-Like AI Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ainoon-ai-smart-glasses.md) - [See-Through Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rayban-transparent-meta-wayfarer.md) - [Advanced AI Assistance Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/looktech-ai-glasses.md) - [Connected Adjustable Tint Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chamelo-music-shield.md) - [Tech-Enabled Smart Glasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specs.md) - [Adaptive Reading Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/32n-sunglasses-by-deep-optics.md) - [Connected UV Protection Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucyd-lyte.md) - [Sport-Friendly Smart Sunglasses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reebok-octane.md)
