Introducing Echoes — an immersive AR journey by JR and Snap, unfolding inside La Caverne du Pont Neuf in Paris from June 6–28. Created in collaboration with Snap’s AR Studio Paris, Echoes blends monumental art with cutting-edge AR technology, including Spectacles. The experience explores motion, perception, and the invisible traces we leave behind. Visitors can step into a constantly evolving environment where bodies, light, and sound unfold in space, revealing new layers of reality through augmented perception. The journey is accessible on mobile, and can also be experienced through Spectacles for a fully immersive perspective. Guests can reserve dedicated sessions or explore freely within the space.

From walking among prehistoric creatures to exploring the origins of our universe, visitors don’t just learn history, they step inside it. This is where technology moves beyond the screen and into the world around us.

We all have them: the coffee shop that knows your order, the go-to restaurant you always suggest, the airport you practically live in. The places we visit most become part of our routines, and part of who we are. Now, Snap Map reflects that even more. Today, we’re introducing Place Loyalty, a new way to recognize when you’re among the most frequent visitors to a place. On Snap Map, Snapchatters can earn tiered, shareable “Top Visitor” badges based on the places they visit most over time. And because the best places aren’t just about where you go, but who you go with, we’re also highlighting the top local hotspots friends visit together in Los Angeles and New York. From everyday favorites to can’t-miss hangouts, Place Loyalty brings more meaning to the places on your map. More via our Newsroom: https://lnkd.in/eFsXcg_N
