How Augmented Reality is Changing the Selfie Game Forever

Introduced in 2015, Snapchat’s iconic “Rainbow Barfing” filter changed the game for selfies. In an era where millennials with each take over 25,000 selfies in a lifetime, augmented reality filters changed the game. Using facial tracking technology to pinpoint key features of the face, such as the cheekbones and nose, real-time and entirely customized selfie filters are at everyone’s disposal.

Apple took this facial tracking technology to the next level with the release of the anticipated iPhone X. No longer is a breakable password or PIN required to unlock your phone, simply the power of your own face keeps your device secure. This trust in face mapping goes even further with European consumers as more than one in three agreed they would feel more secure using selfies as passwords to reach their banking accounts.

From Pokemon Go to Snapchat’s dancing hot dog, augmented reality technology can provide us with hours of entertainment. But there’s more to AR than just fun and games. This infographic brought to you by Frames Direct has all you need to know about the past, present, and future of AR and how it’s changing the way we interact with the world, how we see ourselves, and how we manage our own security.
