What to Build

Use your creativity and the power of Lens Studio to push the boundaries of augmented reality. Leverage the front or back camera to create novel, delightful, and unique experiences that showcase your skills. As you start to build your Lens, think about how to create it with monetization in mind.

Some ideas and guidance for the Lens

• Use Remote Assets in Lens Cloud creating an experience of up to 33 mb which will push your Lens to the next level
• Leverage the power of our human based capabilities: 3D body & hand tracking, segmentations
• Create multiplayer experiences using Connected Lenses at the same location or remotely
• Use SnapML to recognize the environment and objects and offer relatable experiences that make your Lens smarter
• Think about inputs: Voice, Hands, Screen, what can be used to interact with AR?
• Leverage 3rd Party APIs to get external data  with Weather, Air Quality, Sports Results (Tennis, Soccer, Football, Cricket, Basketball), Astrology, Translate, Stock and crypto market data
• Immerse the real world by 3D scanning areas and creating customized located experiences using Custom Landmarker
