Have you ever imagined augmented reality be part of apps like; ”Instagram”, ”Facebook”, ”WhatsApp”, ”MercadoLivre”, in short, all internet platforms?

Augmented reality in social media

As we said, the company “Meta”, announced this Thursday that it will launch an app to facilitate the creation and sharing of filters that can use augmented reality. The launch will initially be for Instagram Stories. A great technological revolution really begins in the year 2022.

This extraordinary announcement was given at a conference of ”Facebook Connect”, an event that takes place every year, which is aimed only at developers. This application was developed by Spark Ar, and will be fully available for iPhones. However, it still does not have the exact date for the launch of the application.

Thus, this great novelty aims to facilitate the creation of filters for augmented reality. The application called ”Polar”, has a very simple and very intuitive interface, in addition to a wide range of filters for the user to create their augmented reality effects. That way you'll be able to change the color of the skin, hair, eyes, as well as several other possibilities.

In addition to this fantastic app, ”Polar”, Facebook recently announced other features that should integrate this new software, as well as the creation of fantastic filters and effects to create an augmented reality. Perhaps the biggest news is to facilitate augmented reality experiences based on latitude and longitude, that is, coordinates.

The next decade will be marked by the arrival of augmented reality, as well as the fantastic "Mark Zuckerberg's Metaverse". In the same way that the last decade was marked by the arrival of high-speed internet, as well as the arrival of applications, without a doubt the metaverse will be the big change for the next 10 years.

The metaverse opens up a wide range of possibilities, from people being able to put on augmented reality glasses and go to stores, shop in supermarkets, or even watch a show in a virtual city within the metaverse, all in real time and in three dimensions, plus the audio that will be a really impressive thing!
