Rakuten Viber on Wednesday rolled out its augmented reality lenses feature, Viber Lenses, in Viet Nam in partnership with Snap Inc.

It allows users to create memorable moments through gestures, poses and backgrounds to better personalise their digital avatars, includes instant augmented reality, a filter, expressive masks, beautification features, and customised bitmoji.

It is expected that the app will introduce 20-50 new lenses every month.

Viber said it customised and branded Viber lenses exclusively for the Vietnamese market, and plans to offer a range of quirky and playful lenses, and is currently on the hunt for local artists to collaborate in creating custom AR lenses.

Viber Lenses are available for iOS (Viber version 15.5.5 and up) and Android (version 15.8.0.15 and up), and local lenses are available for version 16.0 and above. — VNS
