Today we’re excited to introduce a 3D Camera Mode that adds depth to your Snaps. Use it to create Snaps that capture spatial detail, changing in perspective and appearance based on how you move your phone when you view them. These new Snaps look different, act different, and feel different.
We’re also introducing new 3D Effects that you can swipe on in the Filter Carousel. Together they feel life-like and magical, bringing your world and experience to life in a way that's a step closer to the real thing.
We’re releasing this new capability on a small handful of phones to start with, but any phone can receive and interact with one of these Snaps. If you come across one of these new kinds of Snaps in a Story, you can bring it to life by giving your phone a wiggle.
Seene used computer vision to capture and share your world in 3D, and grew from 0 to over 1 million users in less than a week, becoming a wholly new way to capture and share your world, in lifelike 3D.
http://seene.co/app Seene is the worlds most popular consumer 3D scene capture app that is developing computer vision technology to power new forms of 3D user-generated content for computational photography, gaming and virtual reality. The app works across iOS and Android and has been downloaded over 2 million times.

Obvious Engineering augmented reality large scene and small object tracking demo on mobile device
Obvious Engineering (Oe) is a research & development-driven computer vision software company with a focus on Augmented and Mixed Reality consumer experience. Our goal is to seamlessly merge digital content within physical space via mobile computing devices.
We have developed a portfolio of technologies for use on low-powered mobile devices in real-time applications. We enable these devices to locate themselves in space, map visual environments, and recreate in 3D what is seen through the camera, giving a standard smartphone 3D perception caabilities without the use of additional hardware or off-device processing.
Oe was acquired by Snap Inc in 2016.
Procedural AR-T Creation System - Augmented Reality Art Connected to Everyday Objects (2012)
An AR art making framework built in Unity and designed to attach 3D content and interaction to predefined physical objects. Devised as a series of patches that can be configured to create 3D primitives, add and select object textures, define interaction control (touch, movement, voice), and enable animation and evolution of content based upon user participation. The screenshots feature patches developed by digital artist Thomas Traum.

BBC Blast - Realtime web-controlled art-making robots
Together with Nanika we created a series of art making robots that people could control via their web-browsers using simple on screen controls and live video streams. The project was commissioned by BBC and Fallon London. It ran for 45 days inside the Southbank Gallery in London.
