Flipping Pingo

Christof Reimers

When finding new friends, you will always get introduced to new things. One of those things is Snapchat. I quickly got interested in the AR technology and realized that it is not that hard to create your own snapchat lens.

I dabbled around and created a small lens where an Uli Stein penguin sits on your head, dances when you open your mouth and does a flip when you tap the screen. Snap AR and Lens Studio has great potential when used right - you create full multiplayer AR games with it, but the interface, clunky UI and the fact the Lens Studio uses an age old version of JavaScript really bummed me out and ended this whole endeavor.

You can still use this lens of course.
