Create Your Own Augmented Reality with Lens Studio

Create Your Own Augmented Reality with Lens Studio 

Have you even wanted to make your own augmented reality (AR) characters, objects, or art well now there is a chance with Snapchat's creation of Lens Studio that lets users put their creative pieces in augmented reality for everyone to experience and enjoy.

Lens Studio launched on December 14, 2017.  Following the launch Snapchat employees created instructional videos (https://lensstudio.snapchat.com/guides/getting-started/) to introduce and educate new users on how the software works along with how to operate the technology.


This software will open opportunities for lots of creativity and projects in AR while giving new users the ability to understand how AR works furthering this technology.

Us at ESU IT have even gotten to work with Lens Studio and put Emporia State's mascot Corky into AR to create some videos with Corky. Here is our result:


So for those who have ever wanted a specific character, object, or art for Snapchat now it is possible with Lens Studio. Coding and programming knowledge is not needed just select the wanted template, clear some space for the wanted image, and upload the desired image.
