Mods, do we want to open up a subforum for this?

Snapchat added a tool for animating & presenting models in AR.

It's kind of neat actually, especially if you're not an animator but want to see your characters moving around.

Not much there yet, but it's a neat start.

Shouldn't a company valued at 19 billion dollars shell out a little more than the chance to win ONE iPad?  Seems a little exploitative to expect artists to fill up their Lens gallery for free.
