About the Snapchat AI selfie feature “Dreams”
There was a time when we took pictures of Snapchat’s dog lens and it popped out the dog’s tongue when we opened its mouth. This was the time when users got to experience the augmented reality feature in the photo sharing app on social media. Currently, we have entered the era of artificial intelligence, where we can transform our simple image into something completely different. The first Snapchat introduced the first My AI chatbot feature this year, which created a buzz among users. Now, Snapchat has released an AI selfie feature called “Dreams,” which uses generative artificial intelligence to transform photos into something absolutely fantastic.
According to the Snapchat blog. users can create new identities based on given themes, such as a mermaid in a deep seascape or renaissance royalty. Users can create up to eight generative AI selfies. Users first need to upload their selfies from different angles, just like we use face recognition. The app then creates an image based on the theme you choose. According to a report by The Verge, the new feature is said to be similar to Lensa, an AI photo app.
To access the Dreams features, users need to navigate towards the “Memories” feature where all the Snapchat photos are saved. There you will see a new tab called “Dreams”. You can go to the tab and start creating your own generative AI images.
Eight themes are available in the free version of the Snapchat app, and the premium version includes additional themes for users to try out. According to the blog, the feature will slowly roll out in Australia and New Zealand. In a few weeks, the new AI selfie features will be available to all users worldwide.
