One of the most popular social media platforms - Snapchat, launched one of its newer addition to the already existing filters, the Snapchat Lenses.
The Lenses are augmented reality - which stands for an interactive experience of a real-world environment, in which the objects are modified or enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information.
