HBO, Snapchat Team Up on AR Lenses for His Dark Materials

The series is based on the trilogy of books by Philip Pullman

Will Snapchatters be able to bear the newest series of augmented reality lenses from the messaging application and HBO?

The premium network and Snapchat teamed up on a series of AR lenses that bring Iorek Byrnison, the armored bear from series His Dark Materials, and other animals from the show—referred to as daemons—to life.

His Dark Materials is based on the trilogy of books by Philip Pullman, and stars include Lin-Manuel Miranda and James McAvoy.

The key art marker tech lens, featuring Miranda, debuted in New York and Los Angeles early this month.
