Apple launched its best ever phone, iPhone X in September. It has 7 MP front facing a camera, proximity sensor, infrared camera, light sensor, flood illuminator, dot projector. Snapchat has recently launched an iPhone X exclusive AR Snapchat lense. These lenses are specially designed for only iPhone X users. The company was very much excited to launch this feature. Though the feature didn’t appear with the release of the iPhone X.
These three lenses include a Mardi Gras-esque mask, a Day of the Dead skull, and a pretty gold-plated eye cover, are available now to iPhone X Users. Currently, three lenses are introduced but more lenses will be added in near future. TrueDepth technology masks are way different than any other normal masks, Though they follow your face but are more realistic and better. This ultra new technology follows the contours of the face thus they are more precise.

Still thinking how it is so perfect? Well, it tracks 50+ facial muscles which include your mouth and eyelids movements. The technology maps 30,000 dots onto your face to give such result. This data is then used with other depth information to superimpose augmented reality masks onto the user’s face with perfection. You will believe once you experience it on your own. These lenses perfectly stick on your face which makes it look more natural and real. The SnapChat head says these lenses should reflect the light in the surroundings more realistically. To use these lenses, iPhone X user needs to press down on the face through a camera and select the frame you want by scrolling the carousel lens options. The TrueDepth technology gives the better depth detection by blurring the background and apply 3D objects which react to lights. So if you own iPhone, try out all these new and amazing filters.
