Snapchat Adds New 3D Body Scan Lenses for Halloween
Snapchat has launched a new set of 3D body scan Lenses, building upon its body tracking technology, which is able to move and adjust based on how you move on the screen. The new Lenses respond to your movement in the frame, with digital characters or costumes aligning with your actions.

The new option could open up a range of fun, new brand tie-ins and opportunities – and even new AR try-on tools to get a better idea of what you might look like in a new item of clothing or similar.
