Snap is slowly rolling out new feature Crowd Surf , which uses machine vision to cut together several perspectives of a single event , like a concert for example , with footage from smartphones . The feature had its first successful test run at a Lorde show , assembling footage from all over the venue into a single coherent video . The technology uses a spectograph , or sound print , to connect footage from backstage to the music itself . just like you would a broadcast on ESPN. Reports suggest the technology could also be used for sporting events or news reporting .
