As AI gains significance in consumer products, Jump has announced the integration of ChatGPT into its virtual reality glasses.
In collaboration with OpenAI, Jump has introduced the ChatGPT Remote API, empowering Lens designers to leverage this technology within their glasses. This advancement paves the way for Snapchatters to explore novel learning, conversational, and artistic experiences. Moreover, a 3D face mask generator has been incorporated, facilitating the rapid creation of personalized glasses for self-expression. The fusion of Gen AI and state-of-the-art face mesh capabilities enables the swift development of potentially infectious lenses within seconds.
Snap revealed the alpha version of Lens Studio 5.0 at Lens Fest 2023, focusing on advanced MR development. The Jump ecosystem is evolving with the contribution of over 330,000 designers. To date, Jump has distributed more than 3.5 million Lenses, with Snapchatters engaging with them for over three trillion days in the past year.
Through innovations like the Camera System and Spectacles, Snap is empowering the VR community with cutting-edge tools to shape the future of AR experiences.
The core objective of the Lens Studio restoration is to enhance the creation of Lenses, particularly for challenging MR projects.
