Snapchat and Netflix launch 'Stranger Things' AR experience and filter
Want to wander around Joyce Byers' living room, prodding those rainbow fairy lights and waiting for the Demogorgon to show up?
Snapchat has teamed up with Netflix to launch a 3D world lens to promote the Oct. 27 release of Stranger Things Season 2.
Snapchat launched world lens feature in April 2017, in which the lenses (and the images in them) move and change as you move, making them slightly interactive.
In Snapchat's Stranger Things world lens experience, users can wander around Joyce Byers' living room, tapping different elements to find various easter eggs — try hitting the bookshelf or Joyce's coloured fairy lights and see what happens.
If you're unlucky, you can find your way to the Upside Down. Plus, on a more classic Snapchat level, there's a filter which overlays you with Eleven's signature nosebleed, and throws you into the Upside Down if you raise your eyebrows.
Want to give it a go? It's sitting in your filters on Snapchat. There's two different versions of the experience available in 10 markets, including the U.S., UK and Australia, reports Business Insider.
