New Integration with Disguise
Today, we also shared our new integration with Disguise, the industry’s leader in live event visualization and virtual production technology, that will bring Snap AR to some of the world’s largest venues and tours. During future shows, fans can see AR visuals through the Snapchat camera that interact with the on-stage visual production, via Disguise RenderStream, bringing the artist’s creative vision to life like never before.
Kygo
We’ll also be teaming up with one of the world’s most famous DJs, Kygo, to create AR experiences for some of his concerts this summer so fans can immerse themselves in his music, and we can’t wait to work with more artists later this year.
We’re so excited to continue making live performances even more immersive so Snapchatters can truly see music differently.
