Snapchat Celebrates Harry Potter’s Birthday with a 3D Harry Potter Bitmoji Lens

We may have left the wizarding world (of the books) behind many years ago, but Harry Potter and his first Quidditch match is still as fresh in our mind as dew on grass on a chilly morning. It was yet another day at the Hogwarts school but if you, a muggle, wants to glide on the Nimbus 2000 broom and relive that gripping moment for yourself then it’s now possible.

Snapchat has decide to celebrate the birthday of the wizarding world’s boy wonder, Harry Potter, in the best way possible. With the latest update, Snapchat has added new 3D Harry Potter Bitmoji Lens to let you become a part of any of the four Hogwarts houses and play the most-popular sport – Quidditch – in augmented reality.

As you can see above, it is really simple to fly around on a magical broom and catch the golden snitch for muggles. You only need to open Snapchat, point the camera to where you want to fly, and long press the screen to activate the Harry Potter world lens.

Once you follow through with these steps, you will be able to see your Bitmoji avatar in Gryffindor robes flying around on your screen trying to catch the snitch just like in the movies. If you are not the biggest fan of Gryffindor, then don’t worry, as you can customize your appearance in just a few taps.

This may not be the most engaging experience that Harry Potter fans are looking for, but this augmented reality (AR) lens from Snapchat is a fun way to dial back the nostalgia to the early 90s.

Twitter Wants to Build an ‘Open and Decentralized’ Social Media Platform

In an attempt to create a Facebook competitor, which everyone flocks to, Twitter became increasingly centralized over the years. Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey believes that’s the case and has now tweeted a lengthy plan to fund research to build an open and decentralized standard for social media platforms. It will “ultimately become a standard” that Twitter’s client will be based upon. Dubbed Bluesky, this project will see a team of up to five researchers , which could include open-source architects, engineers, and designers, being on-boarded in the near future. Currently, Bluesky has no team members but Dorsey tweeted that Twitter’s CTO Parag Agrawal has been tasked with finding a lead. The folks over at Firefox have already extended a helping hand, saying how the non-profit has contributed to decentralization. Enough jibber-jabber, but what exactly is Bluesky? And what does it intend to achieve? Dorsey, in his tweetstorm , states that the challenges being faced by centralized social

Mysterious Drones Spotted in Colorado and Nebraska; Sources Unknown

A group of drones was reportedly been spotted in the sky at night last week in Colorado and Nebraska that made the residents anxious and worried.

They appear at around 7 PM at night and disappear at around 10 PM . Until now, the drones have not been caught doing any illegal or unofficial activities. “They do not seem to be malicious. They don’t seem to be doing anything that would indicate criminal activity,” Sheriff Elliott added. The Federal Aviation Agency, the Air Force, Drug Enforcement Administration, and US Army Forces Command confirmed that the drones did not belong to them.
