We invite creators and developers to build next generation augmented reality experiences using Lens Studio's advanced suite of capabilities. Engage millions with interactive play, wellness & fitness, education, and fashion experiences — that define the next evolution in AR. 

Requirements

What to Build

  • Interactive Play: Create Lenses for fun, competitive play
  • Wellness & Fitness: Create Lenses that democratize personalized fitness and help people have fun while getting active
  • Education: Create Lenses that inspire learning by taking the lesson out of the classroom and into the real world
  • Fashion: Create Lenses that shape culture and change the way people view fashion and style

Developers are encouraged to incorporate the powerful new Lens Studio features listed in the Resources tab. Utilizing our latest capabilities not only unlocks new opportunities for AR development, it’s an important component of your Wow Factor score.
