DECEMBER 18th โ๏ธ 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.

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.

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 โ all the way to Discord channels like the one we have for SnapAR.
And let me break the rules a bit around โ#ARโ 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.

Theyโre 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 Iโve ever felt.
Big thank you to the team for joining the conversation! ๐โจ Look forward to seeing 2024 creations.

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
โ I need to decorate and can view real art from reddit on my walls
โ ๏ธ No easy 1 click purchasing
Form factor of HMD still needs to be smaller
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.
Welcome, @NianticLabs!
Niantic brings AR everywhere - through their games, developer tools, marketing solutions, their AR mapping, and focus on exploring the world together.
