Snap Inc.’s Post

Snap Inc. partners are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with augmented reality, both in-app and in the real world. Today, over 300 million Snapchatters engage with augmented reality every day on average. Here's the news from today's Snap Summit: Snapchat Cam Expanding to More Venues: Snapchat has partnered to bring Snapchat Cam to more than 50 venues, teams, artists, and broadcast partners, like the Indiana Fever at Gainbridge Fieldhouse and the New York Knicks at Madison Square Garden. We can’t wait to make big events more memorable for the millions of attendees who visit these sites every year. Rock Out with the Lip Syncing Lens: We launched a new Lip Syncing Lens with Eminem in celebration of his new song “Fuel.” Soon this visual Lens experience will support thousands of tracks from Snapchat’s Sounds library so Snapchatters can take Snaps rocking out in real time or apply the Lens to bring their Memories to life.  Try a New Look with NYX Beauty Bestie: We’re introducing an advanced version of this Lens that uses generative AI to recommend endless looks tailored to Snapchatters’ unique features, making mastering a handful of looks fun, mess-free, and easy to share with friends in a Snap.  #AR #Snap

Who remembers the iconic scene in „The Simpsons“ where the cancellation of the „Itchy & Scratchy Show“ leads all the children to spontaneously go outside and play together? This scene brilliantly highlights a stark contrast between indoor, screen-based entertainment and outdoor, social activities. It serves as a powerful metaphor for the challenges young adults face today in connecting with others. Unlike the past, where limited entertainment options often led to more outdoor and community-oriented activities, today’s digital era is dominated by social media, online gaming, and streaming services. This shift has significant implications for how young adults develop social skills and engage in face-to-face interactions, making it a compelling topic for discussion in our increasingly digital world.

Snapchat's planet ranking system it a threat to the wellbeing of America's youth. There is a behavioral and mental health epidemic in our youth. Snapchat is pouring gasoline on the fire with a pay to play popularity ranking system. 360 is a responsible and enthusiastic user of AI and Machine learning. We use technology to empower students and adults to become more resilient stronger independent individuals. Snap Inc. is doing the exact opposite and we call on them to end the planet program before it does any further damage to our youth. Administrators, Educators, and Politicians, We ask you to take action against the dangerous exploitation of our youth. https://lnkd.in/dFi7xVbH

This was definitely one of the coolest projects I worked on last year! I created a core engine in Lens Studio that allowed the rest of the team to work on the huge number of individual effects independent of each other. The core required projects that were built into a shell template project that I also provided. The shell was kept simple to be quickly and easily understood by creatives and programmers alike. I supported this with a comprehensive documention channel which was updated regularly as the project requirements changed or new features were added (or when someone creatively found a way to break my careful designs!) The live shows required possibly the first uses of an XR DJ. The playlist was mutable and the songs could be longer or shorter versions, so I created a Composer lens which used remote messaging to signal the start and end of each track to all the devices in the crowd. During the early shows we often found that songs were played for which we didn't have a specific sequence - and that's where the DJ bit comes in: Natalie Lambert would listen to the opening, then pick one of the large (23 I think?) set of sequences to play for the crowd. If it didn't quite fit (song intros being notoriously deceptive...) she'd dynamically switch the sequence at an appropriate beat drop to something more suitable. Hats off for an amazing job under live-show pressure there Natalie, Hannah, Molly and Sam (on various shows)! There's a ton more tech I could talk about and many more shout-outs are owed, but I'll stop after adding this: The creative and technical work that went into the huge number of sequences and effects in this project was breathtaking. I created a few code projects, then James Dick and the whole team designed and implemented incredible effects and sequences that simply blew my mind!
