Snapchat gained early popularity among younger users thanks to its picture filters, which allowed users to add funny aspects to their photographs, such as bunny ears and other animal ears. Snap has made it a priority over the past few years to advance the area of augmented reality (AR), and the firm says that more than 250 [million users](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/38813/which-country-s-domain-cn-has-become-the-world-s-most-commonly-used-in-the-internet-with-16-36-million-users-surpassing-germany-s-de-domain) use AR on the platform on a daily basis.

"A number of companies have tried to leverage augmented reality outside of their platform," Popelka said. "But our app shows what we can do." Only we can do what we do. At long last, we have developed a system that is appropriate for application in a commercial environment.
