New Snapchat Lens shows how Apple Pay transit works in an AR experience
Once activated, a virtual OMNY gate appears in your environment, and prompts you to tap the reader by lowering your iPhone near it. Once it is done, you get transported to The Kings Theater, SeaGlass Carousel, and The New York Hall of Science.
From 9to5Mac:
On the Apple Pay website, Apple touts that you can now “take a virtual trip with Apple Pay” to “experience” the platform in augmented reality. Tapping the option launches the AR experience directly in Safari. This experience is accessible worldwide, regardless of whether or not you actually live in New York.
Once you’re inside the AR experience on your iPhone, you can “tap” your iPhone on the New York City subway turnstile to enter a virtual augmented reality experience that simulates a subway ride from Brooklyn to Manhattan, including views of the New York City skyline.
We have also made a video of the Lens, down below.
