What is SNOW?

SNOW, from SNOW Inc., is described as being a video messaging app with over 100 million downloads worldwide! From the app’s description:

• You can send funny stickers to your friends in video calls
• Take a fun video with live face effects and send it to friends
• Send a video note instantly while chatting and invite friends to a group chat
• Add a video to Story to share your moments with friends
• Friends can view your video only once. No more worries for ridiculous selfies

Other companies that helped create the app’s features include SenseTime for Face Technology, and NALBI.Inc. for Image Segmentation Technology.

Miku X SNOW

Users of the app will find that there is a new AR filter with Hatsune Miku’s face. Once selected, an AR avatar of KEI‘s original V2 Hatsune Miku will appear and track your movements! She is capable of mimicking head, eye, mouth, and even eyebrow movements. Here are some some pictures of SNOW’s staff trying it out:
