No costume, no problem: Snapchat's new lens helps users celebrate Halloween

Building from the recently-released 2D body tracking technology, 3D Full Body Tracking Lenses help Snapchatters express themselves and communicate with their friends in a whole new waySnapchat is releasing a set of more than 10 3D Full Body Tracking Lenses in Snapchat,which track 18 joints on the human body and apply 3D models to follow the movements of people in the camera's view.

So, one can be a Sorceress, a Zombie, or even the Dancing Hot Dog for Halloween this year.
