Augmented reality’s most universale

seizure of the zeitgeist in 2016

wasn’t through the monster-

catching caper of Pokémon Go. It

was Snapchat’s Lenses—object

recognition and real-time special

effects that let you change your

on-screen eye colour, superimpose

faces, wear animal “masks,” and

place scenes around an image. So

many memes! How we LOLed...
