So you can create 3D Snapchat selfies to succeed in Instagram Stories
Instagram overtook Snapchat in popularity some time ago by copying its Stories, those ephemeral videos that self-destruct in 24 hours and have millions of people around the world hooked. And the reality is this: when Snapchat launches an attractive novelty in its Stories, users rush to try it... and then share it on Instagram Stories. There is no more: on Instagram there is more public and one posts their stories for people to see.So are the things. And very soon you will see some new Stories and you will wonder where they got them from? We give you the answer.
Today Snapchat announced a new '3D camera' effect that will allow the user to take selfies with depth and make the background move at the same time as our phone. To achieve this effect, Snapchat will use the iPhone's TrueDepth technology, thanks to which, for example, we have Animojis or the FaceID facial unlocking system. Does this mean that only those with an iPhone X or higher will be able to enjoy this new '3D' mode? Indeed, although the company has assured that it will try to implement it on Android phones without specifying a date. If you have an Android, for now, you can see your friends' 3D selfies but not take them.
The new camera mode is accessed through Snapchat's own camera application, being able to choose between 3D filters, 3D effects and 3D glasses. You only have to open the dropdown to find the required mode.
You can see the result of the new 3D selfie in the following video that Snapchat itself has created to celebrate the arrival of the new mode on the application. Another gadget that you will be able to use to create the new 3D selfies will be the upcoming Spectacles 3 glasses for Snapchat. The stories can be saved within the mobile so, yes, you can share these new photos in your Snapchat Stories.
Snapchat is one of the applications that is developing the most in the area of augmented reality and, although it is not as popular as Instagram, gathers around it more than 203 million people. Almost nothing. Will this effect come to Instagram? We can foresee yes.
