Polaroid announced three new products at CES 2011: a portable Bluetooth printer, a new instant digital camera and… camera glasses. Yes, those are sun glasses with built-in camera and… LCD screens embedded in the front. The whole Grey line is inspired by Lade Gaga and “is truly expressive of Lady Gaga’s artistic vision”.

Polaroid is expected to reveal the next generation of instant cameras today at 3:30pm PST as part of the series of announcements during CES 2011. The word on the street is that Chase Jarvis will be involved in the event. Lady Gaga also seems to have some involvement in this project.
