- The new Snapchat Imagine lens uses AI to produce an image from any notice
- The function combines generative with the real -time Snap camera interface
- The lens is only available for Snapchat+ Platinum and Lens+ subscribers for now
Snapchat has been offering AI lenses for preprogrammed filters for a while, but its most recent feature allows you to write any notice you want. The new Imagine lens will alter your photos based on what you write, regardless of how specific. You could take a selfie and ask him to “become a four -panel comic where I become a jellyfish superhero”, and see that comic appears.
Only available for Snapchat+ Platinum and Lens+ subscribers in iOS, Imagine Lens is the first AI image generator of the application integrated in the lens carousel. Unlike Snapchat existing generative lenses, which offer fun but fixed effects, this really listens to what he writes. The resulting image can be published in its history, keep in your camera roll or share with your friends. Unlike those existing lenses, you will not be able to make a video or see the overlap in advance, but SNAP seems to be sure that people will like the final result.
There are many generators of Ia and editors, but Imagine lens stands out for its speed and being optimized to be part of the Snapchat application. Simply open the camera, slide to the lens imagine and start writing in the subtitles bar. You can also use one of Snapchat’s pre -written suggestions, such as “turning this person into a comic strip”, “Become a statue of the Renaissance” or “make this a silly cartoon.”
Selfie imagination
The imagine lens is somehow the current height of Snapchat’s efforts to combine AI with augmented reality as part of its brand. This year, Snap launched its first video -based lenses and launched an independent lens study application and a web portal. The idea was to facilitate that amateur creators build AR filters from scratch. Imagine that Lens only extends that idea in a limited way to each user (which he pays to subscribe).
Clearly there is demand for it, and Snap does not want to be behind as Tiktok cultivates its set of effects and filters of AI, not to mention similar experiments carried out by Google, Meta, Apple and other important brands.
It remains to be seen how well the lens imagines for a larger user base. Ia’s image tools can be confusing in their logic when interpreting a notice. Even so, it is easy to see how people who use Snapchat could be interested in having in their hands imagine, and how they could even attract people to pay the privilege.
However, Snap must press so that ways of highlighting are highlighted, since the idea of making fun moments instantly from a written warning becomes ubiquitous. Imagine that.
