Chinese technology company Meitu confirmed that it will participate in Facebook's AR Studio beta program as the US giant's first Asia-based partner, to work on three Augmented Reality (AR) camera effects for Facebook camera.
中国科技公司美图近日证实，该公司将成为美国巨头Facebook在亚洲的首家合作公司，参与其AR工作室的beta项目，为Facebook相机研发三款增强现实(AR)相机特效。
According to a statement by Meitu, the three effects named "Selfie from the Future" "Meitu Family" and "Instant Glam" will add "a unique, robotic eyeglass", "Meitu's own popular cartoon characters" and some other instant filters to Facebook camera respectively.
根据美图的声明，三款特效"明日自拍"、"美图家族"和"即时魅力"，将分别为Facebook相机增加"独特的机器人眼镜"、"美图开发的流行卡通人物"和"一些其它的即时滤镜"。
"We are honored to be selected by Facebook to kick-off this incredible new feature, and excited to come along for the ride as the platform further reshapes the social media experience," said Meitu's managing director of global operations, Frank Fu, in the statement.
美图全球业务总经理Frank Fu在一则声明中称：“我们很荣幸能被Facebook选中来启动这一令人难以置信的新功能，并且很激动可以随该平台进一步重塑社交媒体新体验。”

Facebook AR Studio, announced in April during the company's developer conference F8, aims to attract artists and developers to contribute virtual overlay designs, such as animated frames and interactive effects.
今年四月份，Facebook的AR Studio在该公司的F8开发者大会上公布，目的是吸引艺术家和开发人员致力于虚拟覆盖设计，比如框架和互动效果。
"Meitu's fun selfie experiences make it a natural fit for the Camera Effects Platform," said Konstantinos Papamiltiadis, director of platform partnerships at Facebook.
Facebook平台合作伙伴总监Konstantinos Papamiltiadis称："美图有趣的自拍体验使其成为相机特效平台的天然良配。"
"We're excited to expand the AR Studio beta to our first Asia-based developer, and we think the camera effects that Meitu has built with this technology will delight the Facebook community around the world," he said.
他说道："我们很兴奋将AR工作室Beta推介给我们的首家亚洲开发商。我们相信美图使用这一技术打造的相机特效能为世界各地的Facebook社区带来愉悦体验。"
