Gear up for a vibrant Holi celebration this year – even if you’re miles away from your loved ones! Snapchat’s got you covered with their brand new AR Pichkari Lens, letting you virtually shower your friends with colorful joy straight from your phone. This innovative lens utilizes cutting-edge Augmented Reality (AR) technology, transforming your smartphone into a playful pichkari (water gun) for a digitally delightful Holi experience.
Here’s How to Unleash the Holi Fun with the AR Pichkari Lens:
-
Finding the Fun: There are two ways to access this awesome lens. First, open the Snapchat app and switch to your camera screen. Look for the search bar at the top and type in “AR Pichkari.” The lens should pop right up! Alternatively, some tech-savvy friends might share the lens directly with you.
-
Getting Ready to Splash: Once you’ve selected the AR Pichkari Lens, it’s time to switch to your rear camera. Remember, this lens works best when pointed directly at your friends. Here’s the magic part: Snapchat’s AR tech will recognize your friend in the frame and unleash a virtual barrage of colorful Holi hues!
-
Mimicking the Real Deal: For an extra dose of realism, the virtual “pichkari” experience is dynamic. Move your phone around just like you would a real pichkari, and the virtual colors will follow suit, splashing your friend on screen!
-
Color Meter and Festive Cheer: A handy color meter on the left side of your screen keeps track of your virtual ammo. Don’t worry, the fun doesn’t end abruptly! Halfway through the virtual drenching, a celebratory message “Holi Hai!” pops up on the screen, adding to the festive spirit.
