We’re excited to announce that we’re bringing the Snapchat Sounds library into Lens Studio! Now, you can add licensed music and audio to your Lenses, browse through millions of different options, and make custom selections in the Asset Library. The full library includes artists from all major labels, along with thousands of rising stars just waiting to be discovered. It’s never been easier to add a great soundtrack to your Lenses.

Make a greater impact with your Lenses—literally—using integrated Physics in Lens Studio. The new system allows digital objects in AR to interact with real-world characteristics like gravity, velocity, mass, acceleration. Dynamically simulate realistic effects with components like Colliders (sphere, box, capsule, and mesh), Rigid Body, and Constraints.

We’ve introduced an API Library in the Lens Studio Asset library, which gives Lens Developers access to application programming interfaces, or APIs, from third parties. Developers can now collaborate alongside partners to create brand-new shopping, entertainment, and utility-based Lenses. To kick things off, we’ve launched Lens Templates with partners in cryptocurrency, translation, stock markets, and weather, showing just a few of the massive opportunities possible with our API Library. Expect more to come!

Build more realistic world-facing experiences—without the need for a hardware sensor—using our enhanced World Mesh feature. Now, Lens Creators can use depth information and world geometry to reconstruct their environment directly through Lenses, allowing for more realistic and effective object placement. This feature works with ARKit, ARCore, and non-LiDAR devices.

Our enhanced VoiceML feature just got a few highly anticipated updates. We’ve added several new voice styles and a configurable pace feature so you can adjust playback speed in Lens Studio.
