According to Snapchat, the novelty is now available to all developers, which means that all lenses released from now on that have objects where light can shine and reflect will be even more realistic.
Snap is the first company to make ray tracing technologies available to mobile AR developers at this scale, and through Lens Studio’s advanced tools that enable highly realistic AR experiences, the idea is to democratize AR development.
The first lenses with the feature were created in partnership with the Tiffany & Co.
The lenses called Tiffany Lock Lens allow wearers to try on the brand’s accessories and jewelry on their body as if they were wearing them. The demo includes everything from a box with the jewel inside to the option to put bracelets and rings on your fingers via augmented reality.
Ray-traced filters are now available for both Android and iOS.
