Through the picture-sharing app, users can project their Bitmoji into the real world, watching through their phone screens as the characters go through animated motions. Bitmoji on Snapchat operate through [augmented reality](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-lens-studio), meaning that they can interact with objects in the real world as processed by users' smartphone cameras. Snapchat has only recently announced the feature, but the company has since released videos of Bitmoji doing things like skateboarding on the street, drinking a coffee with their fellow human, and doing yoga on a patio. Users can activate the Bitmoji on Snapchat in much the same way as filters, scrolling through to them and placing them on the screen. They also have control over the characters' sizes. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialmedia) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Personalized AR Cartoons:** Opportunity for creating customizable and interactive animated avatars through augmented reality. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Social Media:** The integration of personalized AR cartoons on Snapchat opens up new possibilities for engaging users and enhancing social media experiences. - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry can leverage personalized AR cartoons to create immersive and interactive experiences for audiences, both in virtual and real-world settings. - **Advertising:** Brands can capitalize on the trend of personalized AR cartoons to create unique and captivating advertisements that resonate with consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Cartoon Avatar Digital Meetings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-avatar.md) - [AR-Enabled Snapchat NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchat-3.md) - [AR-Powered Shopping Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dress-up.md) - [TikTok Avatar Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiktok-avatars.md) - [AR Music Concerts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rolling-stones-bitmoji-show-lens.md) - [Avatar-Supporting Social Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whatsapp-2.md) - [ChatGPT-Powered Social Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-ai.md) - [AR Halloween Costume Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/disguise-1.md) - [AI-Generated Image Backgrounds](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snapchat-6.md)
