MSQRD adds new animated skins to your application
When Facebook lost the opportunity to buy Snapchat, many things were lost along the way of the social network However, it seems that little by little it seeks to repeat the success with its recent acquisition. We are talking about MSQRD, which continues to grow in number of users and, what is more important, in number of masks. Now, an update for Android adds two new elements, notable for being animated skinsSomething that inevitably reminds us of Snapchat and its lenses
This is a new version that, for the moment, has only been seen on the platform Androidtwo new skins not seen in these terminals. Something that is already a tradition, expanding by twos the repertoire of contents of this augmented reality application It is a mask promotional and another mask which, on this occasion, is animated by the user's gesture. But let's talk about them in depth.
The first one we found after updating the app is Pee-Wee”™s Big Holiday, a direct reference to a movie released on Netflix which recalls the adventures of the television series Pee Wee, where an eccentric Good-natured character faced all sorts of derisory situations.Now the user of MSQRD can become Pee Wee, by peeking through afloat and wearing the face of the famous character, as well as his bow tie. The curious thing about this mask is that MSQRD seems to have improved its technology, allowing the user to move the eyebrows and lipsin a more free and natural way, which will have its reflection in the mask itself, which is no longer completely static.
The other skin found in this update is the bully eyes, located towards the end of the skin carousel. A tool that will go less unnoticed because Pee Wee is not a well-known character in Spain With the mask of the bully eyes, the user must position himself as usual in front of the camera selfies The difference is that you now need to open your mouth to trigger the effect of this mask. Thus, the user can remain impassive in front of the terminal without achieving any result. However, as soon as he opens his mouth to express surprise, his eyes bulge out of their sockets.
It's not the first time we've seen an animated mask in MSQRD Others like Avatar already showed sparkles and some moving effects. However, this time the masks react from the user's gestures. A point that arrives late after having seen how on Snapchat, thanks to a raised eyebrows or opening the mouth they were able to all kinds of effects on lenses.
For now this is the most advanced that has been achieved in MSQRD, although with the impetus of Facebook, hopefully it will be updated soon with new and more attractive elements.This latest version is now available for mobile Android through Google Play Store completely free
