Facebook's AR Studio is now open to all third party developers.
Facebook is opening its augmented reality tool AR Studio to all third-party developers, the company announced Tuesday.
As part of the expansion, Facebook said it will also enable something called world effect technology within AR Studio in the coming days, which will let developers incorporate moveable, 3D objects into their AR apps.
AR Studio was introduced in April at Facebook's F8 conference as part of the Camera Effects platform, and since then it's been in closed beta with only about 2,000 brands and developers able to build on it.
Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has focused the company's AR efforts around the camera following the success of camera-based AR tools and games like Pokemon Go and social media face filters.
