DECEMBER 18th ❄️ Snap AR x Charmaine Lee

Today, let's explore the innovative world of #SnapAR with Charmaine Lee. SnapAR is redefining #socialAR experiences with self-expression and storytelling. Whether you're a seasoned #ARdeveloper or just starting out, Lens Studio has everything you need to design, develop, and test AR experiences.

With its latest update to #LensStudio5, the platform now offers enhanced performance, faster load times, and innovative features like #GenerativeAI for texture and face mask generation. This powerful tool, initially launched in 2017, has revolutionized #AR content creation, empowering over 330,000 creators to produce more than 3.5 million Lenses.

Social AR experiences can bridge the gap between #immersive and #physical, allowing users to interact in magical worlds while connecting meaningfully with others. Snapchat showcases how #AR can be a powerful tool for building communities.

Product Manager for #LensStudio at Snap AR working on all things AR development. Most recently, Lens Studio won an #AuggieAward for Best Authoring Tool at #AWE2023, for powering all AR on Snapchat, #CameraKit and #Spectacles with 250M active users ❄

Self-expression and storytelling are at the heart of social experiences, and therefore the key drivers of #socialAR as well.

An incredible social AR experience can come in many forms but they almost always seamlessly bridge the gap between feeling fresh and novel with delightful #UX, while still being technically highly performant. Most importantly, the experience enables connection and a sense of belonging.

𝟮. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 & 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗥 𝗯𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆?

There are awesome communities around everyday builders and users of #XR. This includes everything from using worldwide AR trending filters on social media, and in-person gatherings like #MITRealityHack, #TechVisionsNYC (formerly ARKIt-NYC), AWE — all the way to Discord channels like the one we have for SnapAR.

And let me break the rules a bit around “#AR” here, because VRChat Inc. is definitely an awesome #socialXR platform that everyone should immerse themselves in to see how XR is the inevitable future of shared #socialculture.

𝟯. 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗥 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝘆

They’re all over #Snapchat of course! But I also love seeing #CameraKit in the wild like this one from SoFi Stadium: https://t.co/5GaYHmKtvU.

Bonus mention: #UnitySlices: Table is a social passthrough experience we built at #UnityLabs, it still remains one of those most special and delightful XR experiences I’ve ever felt.

Big thank you to the team for joining the conversation! 🙏✨ Look forward to seeing 2024 creations.

I’m pretty sure this is fake, but it’s a very good fake and I have no idea why someone would spend so much time on making this fake clip 🤔

[Oscar Falmer @OscarFalmer]

Yesterday was my last day at Snap!

Grateful for these incredible two years working alongside amazing colleagues, supporting and collaborating with passionate AR creators and developers across the world to build the best AR experiences 🙌

We are getting closer to virtual shopping and I am all for it

Figmin XR, the app here is not intended for what I want but it's a start
✅ I need to decorate and can view real art from reddit on my walls
⚠️ No easy 1 click purchasing

Form factor of HMD still needs to be smaller

[Dilmer 🔜 AWE @Dilmerv]

This tool is amazing and if you are looking into XR design you MUST try @ShapesXR - every time I think of an idea I can easily prototype it before spending a lot of time in development.

I also love the fact that I was able to import this into Unity, I made a few changes after the fact but it allowed me to get started fairly quickly.
