New Delhi, Nov 13 : OnePlus on Friday launched a special Diwali campaign in collaboration with Snapchat to create special Augmented Reality Lens that will allow users to share the joy of Diwali from the safety and comfort of their homes.
The special Snapchat Lens will help transform festive wishes into Bubbles of positivity that can be released into the sky alongside virtual fireworks and Diwali greetings.
“Through this campaign with Snapchat, we wanted to enable users across the world to celebrate the festival of lights in a safe and secure manner during the time of social distancing,” Siddhant Narayan, Head of Marketing, OnePlus India said in a statement.

When Snapchatters open the lens, they will be presented with words of positivity, such as Peace, Joy, Hope etc.to send out to their loved ones this Diwali.Upon selecting the words, they will be prompted to ‘Open your palm to release the wishes’.
