not a big snap chat person but this video was pretty interesting!

This was surprisingly in-depth. I almost ignored this because I though it was going to be "The camera scans your face and applies decorations" kinda non-explanation.
Well done Joss.

So complex and complicated. Gosh! Engineering dudes, I salute you guys.

Oh great, so it isn't magic? Spoilers everywhere.

Where is it illegal to where a facemask?

Vox 2016: "It's actually illegal to wear a face mask out in public"

Covid-19 2020: "We reserve the right to refuse service to you if you're not wearing a face mask"


Ahhhh the good old pre corona days.... But seriously, everyone wear a mask in public... Let's all try to end this thing.

Vox, the production value of your video are amazing. keep it up

As someone working in that area I have to say: You did an incredible good job in explaining the topic while staying scientific accurate and pointing out and visualizing the key parts of such type of technologies. Great job :))

Woop woop! AR is so freaking cool. As a IT-engineer student it is so cool to hear this discussed among the public so commonly. It is amazing that we live in an age where huge advances in so many different and important IT fields are being made. AR, Machine learning, Big data, cloud.. mobiles even. And that it is being made available to the public so easily. It really feels like we are on the runway for a new era. I choose to be optimistic about what that era might contain :)

The graphics department of this channel is ridiculous, the real heros here

Now i'm no science rocket, but this is how rocket science works doesn't it?

Next: supermarkets will buy your face data from fb and sell you products in real time when you enter the store.

Joss Fong always makes the best Vox videos, I learn more from one video than I do in a week at school
