#NextRealityFestival was a vibe! 💫 Loved meeting new talent in the space, the side quests & talking all things XR. The conversations went deeper than the latest tools in the space. They were about creativity, impact, and how we shape meaningful experiences together. Got to be be around folks who are exploring tech with curiosity, care & a sense of play. Few definitely got me laughing 😆 Many thanks to the team for the invitation to come speak in Hamburg and for putting community at the center of immersive tech. In my talk, I shared a few thoughts on: ☑ Moving beyond the scroll ☑ Designing for shared presence ☑ Building for connection, not just clicks “The future of media won’t be content. It’ll be shared spaces—something we step into.” We’re building new ways of showing up & staying connected. See you in the next instance 👾 #SocialXR #SharedVR #SharedAR

❄️ We asked @SnapAR, 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗔𝗥 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲? Big thanks @charmaine_klee for answering the call 🙌❄️✨ "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." — Charmaine Lee, Product Manager for Lens Studio at Snap AR, working on all things AR development! Most recently, #LensStudio won an Auggie Award for Best Authoring Tool at #AWE2023, for powering all AR on @Snapchat, Camera Kit and #Spectacles with 250M active users. #GetSocial #WinterWonderland #SharedAR #AR

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.

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. #GetSocial with @charmaine_klee 💬 Product Manager for #LensStudio at Snap AR working on all things AR development.

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.

But I also love seeing #CameraKit in the wild like this one from SoFi Stadium: lnkd.in/eE5TGwYS. 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. #SnapAR #AugmentedReality #AR #SharedAR #SocialAR #XR #AugmentedExperiences #LensStudio5 #CreatorTools #GetSocial #WinterWonderland

DECEMBER 8th ❄️ We asked @the8thwall: Why & how can #SocialAR be used to build community? Shout-out to the team for answering the call ✨🙌 Social AR redefines how we embrace AR, making the tech experience more natural when shared with others. Social or even “#SharedAR” opens doors for group connections, especially within close communities, like neighbors. We’re firm believers in tech’s role in bringing communities back together in the real world. — Ria Bhatia, Senior Product Manager at Niantic, Inc.. #GetSocialWinterWonderland #SocialXR 💜 🧡 Chanel Phengdy, Mert Yılmaz, Diana Mendez
