Snap Inc. is looking to do more with augmented reality -- the overlaying of digital effects and information on top of real-world views -- and it’s tapping a longtime Facebook Inc. executive to oversee the effort.
Konstantinos Papamiltiadis, who spent nine years at Facebook, will become vice president of platform partnerships at Snap, the Santa Monica, California-based company said Thursday. In that role, he will help recruit more augmented-reality creators and encourage companies to incorporate Snap’s technology into their services.
