So, briefly put, Snapchat CP(A)R lens “aims to educate Snapchatters on the vital steps to take should they enter an emergency situation and helps them to learn the basics of CPR step by step”.

Here’s what you need to do to use the Snapchat CPR lens:

You could access the CP(A)R lens through the dedicated Snapcode or find it within the Snapchat carousel. As aforementioned, it is releasing on October 16.  

In the AR mode, you will see a life-size digital injured/ill person. You can place that floating image in the room. The app will then guide you through key  steps of CPR such as:

Checking responsiveness Checking for breathing Calling for help (alerting ) Chest compressions Delivering rescue breaths Using Automated External Defibrillator

You can watch it multiple times and as the example is life-like, you are likely to have an immersive learning experience.

It is being rolled out globally and will be available in various languages.
