"It will help us expand our Augmented Reality technology into regions where Viber already has a solid footprint, and help Viber's users express themselves through AR on the Viber platform." "Snap's partnership with Rakuten Viber is a win-win situation for us both," said Elliot Solomon, director of camera platform partnerships at Snap. In much the same way that Apple and Google allow app developers to tap into the AR capabilities of their respective operating systems through ARKit and ARCore, Camera Kit gives developers access to Snapchat's AR Lenses for their own apps. Snap's Camera Kit is what makes AR Lenses in other apps possible. According to a Snap spokesperson, other notable apps with Snapchat Lenses include MLB At the Ballpark, Triller, Yubo, and Smule.
