Facebook聯手美圖秀秀 共同發力AR視覺化社交

Chinese technology company Meitu confirmed that it will participate in Facebook's AR Studio beta program as the US giant's first Asia-based partner, to work on three Augmented Reality (AR) camera effects for Facebook camera.

中國科技公司美圖近日證實，該公司將成爲美國巨頭Facebook在亞洲的首家合作公司，參與其AR工作室的beta項目，爲Facebook相機研發三款增強現實(AR)相機特效。

According to a statement by Meitu, the three effects named "Selfie from the Future" "Meitu Family" and "Instant Glam" will add "a unique, robotic eyeglass", "Meitu's own popular cartoon characters" and some other instant filters to Facebook camera respectively.

根據美圖的聲明，三款特效"明日自拍"、"美圖家族"和"即時魅力"，將分別爲Facebook相機增加"獨特的機器人眼鏡"、"美圖開發的流行卡通人物"和"一些其它的即時濾鏡"。

"We are honored to be selected by Facebook to kick-off this incredible new feature, and excited to come along for the ride as the platform further reshapes the social media experience," said Meitu's managing director of global operations, Frank Fu, in the statement.

美圖全球業務總經理Frank Fu在一則聲明中稱：“我們很榮幸能被Facebook選中來啓動這一令人難以置信的新功能，並且很激動可以隨該平臺進一步重塑社交媒體新體驗。”

Facebook AR Studio, announced in April during the company's developer conference F8, aims to attract artists and developers to contribute virtual overlay designs, such as animated frames and interactive effects.

今年四月份，Facebook的AR Studio在該公司的F8開發者大會上公佈，目的是吸引藝術家和開發人員致力於虛擬覆蓋設計，比如框架和互動效果。

"Meitu's fun selfie experiences make it a natural fit for the Camera Effects Platform," said Konstantinos Papamiltiadis, director of platform partnerships at Facebook.

Facebook平臺合作伙伴總監Konstantinos Papamiltiadis稱："美圖有趣的自拍體驗使其成爲相機特效平臺的天然良配。"

"We're excited to expand the AR Studio beta to our first Asia-based developer, and we think the camera effects that Meitu has built with this technology will delight the Facebook community around the world," he said.

他說道："我們很興奮將AR工作室Beta推介給我們的首家亞洲開發商。我們相信美圖使用這一技術打造的相機特效能爲世界各地的Facebook社區帶來愉悅體驗。"
