Inspiration

We were inspired by Manga aesthetics and bringing dynamic comic visuals into the real world. The ideas in the "VR Manga World for STYLY" were very interesting and we felt that it would be great so be able to bring something like that to AR but focus on the users and allow them to be part of the comic book.

What it does

The Lens is very simple and allows users to frame the real world in comic book/manga style frames.

How we built it

We build it using Lens Studio and with some simple Manga inspired frames from our artists.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges were mostly deciding which frames to use and which accents to use with each frame. We wanted to create a simple experience and so not create too many different frames, but also wanted enough variety to provide the users with choice and re-playability.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The turn around time was pretty fast :)

What we learned

We learned about trying to simplify the UX as much as possible to allow users to take their Snaps as quickly as possible.

What's next for Comic Book Frames

We would like to add more dynamic/animated frames.
