Dual Camera Challenge
Dual Camera Lenses help Snapchatters express themselves by allowing them to do both–share their facial expressions and the views from the back camera feed–all at once!Build a Lens that creatively incorporates both cameras into your concept. Imagine the creative possibilities when you can interact with AR content in both cameras at the same time…
📝 Task
Your task is to create an original Lens with a concept that features both cameras. With the Dual Camera feature, you can imagine the back camera feed as a reflection or a portal, or switch it up and feature the selfie camera feed incorporated into the real world around you.Add AR content to either camera or in both at the same time. The creative spin is all up to you, just make sure your Lens allows Snapchatters to see both. Get inspired by other Dual Camera Lenses already on Snapchat and show us your unique take!
Technical FAQ
Can AR effects be in the front camera for a selfie and also in the back camera?
With the Tracking Scope feature in Lens Studio 5.8 and newer, you're no longer limited to applying tracking just to the main camera feed. You can now extend powerful features like face and body tracking to custom textures, including the reverseCameraTexture or even images and videos from the camera roll. This opens up exciting possibilities, such as creating different effects for front and back cameras simultaneously or tracking objects in pre-recorded media. However, the Dual Camera feature is not compatible with World Tracking. If World tracking is active on the rear camera, the front camera cannot be accessed through the dual camera system.
Does Dual Camera work on all devices?
No, Dual Camera does not work on most Android devices. If a Snapchatter is on a device that does not support it, the fallback experience will allow them to access their Camera Roll to fill in the ther camera stream. This is built into the Dual Camera component.
