Snapchat is reportedly working on its first hardware product, a set of augmented reality glasses that could be similar to Google Glass or Microsoft's HoloLens headset.

The disappearing photo app added weight to speculation that it is working on a wearable product this week when it joined the Bluetooth Special Interest Group, an industry body the wireless technology.

Snapchat has already been experimenting with AR technology, which superimposes virtual images and objects onto the real world, within its app. It introduced a range of new filters earlier this year called Lenses that can add masks, drawings and other accessories to users' selfie photos.

But the company could take this one step further and introduce a wearable product that can add digital objects to your vision without the need to look at a smartphone.
