Snapchat has launched a competition for users to design their own DC-themed AR lenses, to win an all-expenses paid trip to the 2018 Sand Diego Comic-Con.
Super Lenses
For US Snapchat users willing to partake in some creative augmented reality art, the DC Super Heroes Challenge consists of creating a Lens inspired by Batman, Superman, or Wonder Woman.
With iconic superheroes inspiring a bit of healthy design competition, a new generation of AR lens developers could be encouraged to innovate through the competition.
Big brands bedazzle
This is Snapchat’s first challenge to involve a name brand as big as DC, and is sure to garner some attention if not a bit of geeky excitement. Facebook will definitely take note.
Snapchat’s model of offering tangible rewards for amateur AR ingenuity has a great deal of appeal. Having already tapped younger demographics, there’s a recipe for something interesting here. Even super.
