https://devpost.com/software/the-magic-teleporter
Inspiration I have been inspired by the teleportation machines of science fiction movies that we would like to have so much. What it does It is a filter with which you can show a video or photograph of your gallery, for this you just have to add it and click on the screen, then a teleporter effect will appear and the photo or video that you chose previously will appear. It is optimized for instagram reels you can have fun with your followers showing them your memories, telling them stories, making jokes ... let your imagination fly! How I built it To make the filter work, using the patch editor and segmentation I have created transitions that make everything melt and take you from one screen to the other through a transition effect. Challenges I ran into To achieve a simple effect, but to which to give many uses oriented to reels. Achievements I'm proud of This time I managed to make a filter easy to use, in the previous hackathon, I made a filter that people did not know how to use without a previous explanation. What I learned I learned to analyze and find what people want to see in this new feature of reels. What's next for the magic teleporter? I would like when this function is implemented that it can take you to several photos or videos at the same time. Built With photoshop sparkar Try it out www.instagram.com

A great way to experience the many wonderous landmarks of the world from wherever you are Having the world at your fingertips Take memories, leave footprints. What's on my bucket list? Everywhere I've found my happy place. Inspiration Travelling around the world inspires us the most,we want each person around the globe who has wish to visit different places around the world but due to financial crisis, health issues and also due current pandemic can use AR to click some pics. So this was our motto. What it does It has a Landmarks with face textures like Arab gulf hat for Burj khalifa and traditional classic music of that country. So user can basically interact with these models and can create a IG story by enabling music,face texture and landmarks with them and post them in their story. How we built it We built our project using Spark AR and 3D models from sketch fab Challenges we ran into Our main challenge was compressing we need to fit all our models,face textures,music within the file limit size and also the editing them accordingly Accomplishments that we're proud of Our main accomplishment would be we could make our project as we thought and we could build friendly relations and coordination among us. VR gives the real experience but we cant create a memories in VR by clicking some photos, but our project gives the experience and also memories using AR. What we learned We learnt how to design 3d models and implementing them in Spark AR and testing its look and feel. What's next for Embark the Landmark We are trying to add seven wonders of the world with 360 deg background so user can enjoy view also Built With audioplaybackcontroller facetracker javascript planetracker Try it out www.instagram.com

Creating Instruments from scratch is a really enjoyable process. What it does This is Virtual Piano Arena where one can play with piano and stage lights. But Due to Optimization Issues I have kept few options only. How I built it I have sampled all the grand piano note from fl studio then exported them into .m4a. Created Grand Piano 3D Model, Textured it , Rigged it and then added triggers in Spark AR Studio. All the arena light animations are creating using sdf shapes , gallery texture and colors. Challenges I ran into Using 84 Triggers for Grand Piano was really challenging and it was a painful process to connect everything correctly. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I am proud of my hard work and it is just an entry from my side which may or may not be catchy for everyone. I am here to learn only so i am really happy to share something new. What I learned I have learned how to optimize projects when 3d object is included in the scene. What's next for Virtual Piano Arena Looking forward for a positive response on this project that will encourage me to make more things like this.

https://devpost.com/software/neon-lightning
I used the face tracker to create custom body landmarks (neck, chest and belly button) When the two lightning bolts touch each other it creates an explosion of sparks Here's the patch editor of the project in Spark AR Inspiration Since I started creating filters with Spark AR a few months ago, I've developed a whole aesthetic around neon lights . I called my style chiaroscuro cyberpunk because I like to create strong contrasts using dark backgrounds and futuristic bright lights. For this particular filter, I was inspired by the electric effects of 80s movies. Below you can see an example from Ghostbusters . What it does With Neon Lightning you find yourself stuck in the middle of a neon storm. This filter adds two clouds above your head that follow you around. Lightning flashes from the clouds to strike your body, and an electric arc is forming around you. If the two lightning bolts touch each other, it creates an explosion of sparks . The purpose of this effect is to add a touch of craziness when people record themselves dancing. How I built it Positioning points to create a skeleton for the lightning bolts I started by positioning three points. The first, which is the point of origin, is located in the clouds. The second acts as a joint and is between the person and the clouds. And the third point, which is the target, is positioned on the person. Each point is animated randomly. For the first two, I put fixed values, but for the third I used the built-in face landmarks. I also created three custom landmarks located on the body . One for the neck, one for the chest, and one for the belly button. Connecting the points with a 3D object To connect the points, I used a 3D object with a skeleton. I calculated the distance between each point, and divided the result by the number of joints. I then animated each joint to create this electric effect. Finally, I used the lookAt function to rotate the 3D object in the right direction. Creating an electric arc around everything As for the electric arc around the body, I created it with an edge detector . I put some noise on it, and used segmentation to make it only appear on the person. I then applied this electric shader on the clouds and the lightning bolts using render passes . Challenges I ran into After publishing the effect, I discovered two bugs by looking at how people used my filter. The first one was very simple, some people used Neon Lightning to put an electric shader around their hands. In this case, clouds and lightning were not necessary. So I made sure to remove them if the camera doesn't detect a face. The second bug was a little more complicated. I discovered that the face landmarks were not working properly on the rear camera. So I had to separate the position values for the rear and the front camera. Conclusion My goal was to create a fun filter for Instagram Reels , and I have to admit that I'm really proud of the final look. This is the first time I have to work with the whole body and not just the face or a plane tracker. Creating the lightning bolts and custom landmarks on the body was a challenge, but with Spark AR Studio you can do anything if you put in enough time and creativity . The fact that the entire project fits in less than 600KB is also something I'm happy with. I always learn new things about the software when I finish a filter, and Neon Lightning was no exception.

Inspiration Why do we dance? Whether you're groovin' to make the day-to-day routine more enjoyable, bouncing with your friends, or just plain losing yourself without a care in the world, it’s an important part of our self identity and culture. To bring this love for music and dance together, we built a World AR effect that uses Spark AR to foster a fun, shareable and gamified dance experience on Reels. We hope you have fun playing around with this effect and remember to always live your life with a little P.L.U.R. What it does P.L.U.R is a one of a kind AR Dance Arcade. Users can either choose the default character or play themselves by capturing their own freestyle moves with a segmentation sprite sheet tool. Once the character is captured, the audio reactive game begins. A dance floor is placed in your environment and the user controls their character with an on-screen slider making them dance to the beat. As you dance, the effect utilizes processed midi data to generate falling notes that you catch as the beats drop. The more notes you catch, the higher your score gets. Share your game with friends using Reels or use the effect with your own music to record a unique dance experience. How we built it Music Music gives rythamatic movement meaning. It helps build anticipation for that first note, carries you side-to-side with arpeggiated chord progressions, and gives you that enjoyable feeling of unlocking patterns in a musical journey. Team member Riley Deang, aka Monro, created these top vibes using Ableton Live and loads of experience in sound design and music production. Along with the audio track, Riley provided the midi structure which was interpreted into the game structure. Listen to her latest EP. Midi Processing Tool Once the midi file was recorded, it was processed using a custom processing and export tool. The ThreeJS library was used to extract note data and transform it into cube geometry based on note position and duration. Two files were created. The first geometry structure is used for the visualization of notes and the second was null objects that acted as monitor values for scoring logic. The geometry was then exported to a 3D file format and imported into Spark. Export tool is available on GitHub. Spark AR Spark AR is magic unto itself so it didn’t take much to bring all these assets together to develop this unique augmentation. Plane tracking was used to setup the dance floor. Background segmentation and Delay Frame was used to capture users dance moves into a 36 frame sprite sheet. Render Pass also provided the ability to render a canvas layer onto the dance floor. This Render Pass approach can also be used to apply dynamic textures to any mesh surface or even project a pseudo-shadow for an animated 3D object. Finally, a variety of logic was hosted within Patch and Script to coordinate interactivity and animations. Full project available on GitHub. Challenges we ran into Anytime you include this level of gamification into an effect, it requires many features and can push some of those features to the edge of their capabilities. Delay Frame When using Delay Frame to store the dance moves, it required storing many frames. Currently the effect generates a 36 frame sprite sheet and then uses UV offsets to animate through them. To keep the memory footprint low, the sprite sheet is stored in a single Delay Frame pass that uses a 2x on a screen sizing mode. Unfortunately as the sprite is generated, older sprite images lose some image quality causing pixelation. As features are enhanced around render pass, we hope to enhance the effect with optimized memory management or multiple passes. Transform Monitoring Reactive Programming is built for optimized performance but doesn’t lend itself well to consistent frame interval logic. Since notes are falling at a relatively high velocity, this can cause lower-end devices to not count as many scoring opportunities or miss short notes all together. To help the situation we made sure to lengthen note duration while taking game play into consideration, as well as developed an asynchronous function that scores on a 300ms interval to iron out device capabilities. Script Size A recent Spark Hub report that larger script files had issues uploading really forced us to organize. When a build is free flowing and not totally clear, it’s easier to use a single script.js but it can quickly become large and unruly. This event gave us the perfect opportunity to re-organize for the better and use a script architecture that we could benefit from moving forward. What's next for P.L.U.R We had a ton of fun making this effect, learned many things along the way, and pushed some features to the edge of their current capabilities. Now that we have a fully functioning piece, it’s ready to be released out in the real world. You never know how an effect will be received but it would be nice to eventually enhance with more music and dance features. Our hope is that future iterations either use full body tracking, or interactive approaches that are similar to Beat Saber, once Facebook Reality Labs has a release of their AR glasses.

https://devpost.com/software/space-debris-hunter
Place to Start World Saver Swag Floating 3D object in your space Booooooom Inspiration Space, Space is the boundless 3D area, and we are exploring it day by day. from the first foot on the moon to exploring mars. And maybe we can take an apartment on another planet in the future. But from the first launch of the first satellite, the space debris, the junk in the Space which is not functioning is still there. Because It is a non-functional object in Space, it can harm our new space missions or some operational satellites. So the thought of this project, to spread awareness about this issue. Maybe it is not affecting in person but maybe in the future. The inspiration for the project is one day, if possible, I want to live on the moon. And for that, we have to think about that junk. What it does Space Debris hunter starts with the world effect where some non-functional objects are placed in the real world with the feel of Space like floating objects. To destroy that thing, you have to tap on that object where you find that. It will add a point to your score. And last but not least, it gives you swag for saving the world. How we built it First, we researched space debris, how a non-functioning object looks, and how dangerous it can be. We built some assets in Blender with references of images on the internet and added it into the Spark AR studio to construct a space-like environment for the user. And finally, We added some features like object tap, face tracker, timer, score counter, etc. And in the end, Tested on the spark ar player app. Challenges we ran into In spark AR Studio, Finding a way to switch between 3D object and animation sequence take time to understand how to set up that. Accomplishments that we're proud of I feel proud when I do something towards the community or spread awareness about the future. What we learned I learned that I still have a lot to learn. To get more attention from the users, you have to build an exciting thing. What makes them crazy about that. And I'm still on it. What's next for Space Debris Hunter In Space debris hunter, we add some functional objects with non-functioning objects. And differentiating between working and non-working objects grab more attention from users in the game. Built With blender sparkar Try it out www.instagram.com github.com

https://devpost.com/software/endroit-facile
main Inspiration I moved to a new city and we were renovating our house, just then I realized how frustrating it is to match the furniture settings to your decor. We had to go through a series of trying and replacement of furniture before we were able to find the right match. Just then the idea popped up of placing virtual furniture. There are a lot of existing solutions but the ease of placing it through Instagram as well as sharing and getting reviews from friends and family through the social platform would make it so less frustrating. Hence we decided to build "endroit facile". What it does It lets you try out different furniture in real time right through your Instagram camera while being able to resize, scale, position, and rotate. At the same time it displays the scale of the placed 3D furniture in percentage proportionate to 50%. How I built it The theme for this Hackathon was "World AR Effects", in that we specifically focused on plane tracking. We are basically placing 3D models of furniture on the tracked plane. We are also facilitating the user to resize, scale, position, and rotate the placed 3D object via Screen Pan, Screen Pinch and Screen Rotate patches attached with the specific properties of the furniture models. Also we are using the Native UI Picker provided by the Spark AR Studios to switch between different 3D models. Challenges I ran into One of the key challenge that we ran into was bring the size of are project to fit for Instagram, because we are using multiple 3D models in the project the size of the project was way too big. We didn't want the user to try just one furniture in the filter so we had to figure out a way to give multiple choices of furniture to the user. We wanted to give the user a rough idea of the size of the furniture, so we had to display a number to represent the scale but dealing with signals were causing an issue. The 2D text receives a string input but the scale output was of type number. What I learned Reducing the size of the 3D models to fit the effect. How to use Native UI picker. How to convert a number data type to string data using basic scripting techniques. What's next for Endroit Facile Improving texture in 3D Models. Giving choice to user of changing material/texture/polish of the furniture. Making efficient 3D Models to allow them to choose from more variety of furniture.

https://devpost.com/software/enime
Inspiration We have spent a lot of time discussing with one another about what we should use to express our feeling? emoji...😃 YES!! We decided to make a filter with emoji and anime. 😝 What it does So, User have to open his rear camera.. the first thing he would see is a custom instruction saying smile. as soon as he smiles😃, he will see some anime blush and lots of emoji's floating in the air. 😎 well not only smile.... He can also check various emotions with this filter... like anger 😠.. when the user makes an angry face, he will see angry emojis with angry anime characteristics on his face. And also, he can make a surprising face too, which will show a floating surprised emoji with characteristics of surprised anime on his face.😯 All these cases have a different background attached to it. How we built it Firstly we made a small storyboard about what should we built for the filter, and then we collected assets .. collecting emoji's textures and using them in particle emitter was quite easy, then we searched for some other useful assets for the project like background texture and went through many anime and their posters to decide what should we use and add to the face. then using SparkAR, we used a face tracker and interaction patches to detect various faces like a smile, surprised face, to add various background and face assets to the user's face. Challenges we ran into Well, it was quite difficult to use the patch editor at first, we have used too many things in the project and the patch editor had became quite messy. Also detecting an angry face was not that easy, so we came up with an easy idea of using eyebrows lowered as a sign of having an angry face. Accomplishments that we're proud of What we’re most proud of is the fact that we worked together as a team so effectively despite being separated due to COVID-19. This was really the first time anyone of us had worked collaboratively on a big and new project like this. Learning to use GitHub to make sure all of our additions merged smoothly was a huge learning curve, but we stuck it out and we were all able to flex our developer's muscles. We also worked hard doing a detailed reading of the documentation. And as it being a new technology, there are a few Spark AR Studio tutorials to be found online, especially regarding advanced scripting. What we learned First and foremost that we learned is how to use SparkAR altogether. This was our first time using such a tool. We learnt all about patch editor. But most of all, we learned that teamwork really does make the dream work. Or, maybe it was just tremendous amounts of caffeine.😝 What's next for Enime Well, we have planned to make this filter even bigger, we would be adding support for more facial expression, so more people can express them self as anime and emojis. And we will also look for more assets that suits this filter. Built With sparkar Try it out www.instagram.com

realistic studio lights Inspiration It started out as a way to replicate the "Hole in the Wall" TV show and have users pose to fit the hole. The photos taken at the moment of contact between the wall and the user would then be displayed as a gif probably comprising of funny instances. This however morphed into a form of gif making too but with nicer backgrounds and filters to match the aesthetic environment of Instagram. To add that additional realism we finally reached the stage that we are in now where the user can set up an AR studio with the cameras and pose while it takes the three shots and makes a gif out of it. What it does The effect is essentially a photo-studio. The back camera mode enables the user to place flash strobes and reflectors to appear as if the user were in a studio themselves. The user can drag and resize the flash objects in the scene to match the layout. The front camera is like a simple selfie view with a timer on the side. Both these views enable the user to choose from a range of backgrounds with the last background having a few extremely hard hip hop poses that the user can try to imitate. A checkbox is provided that switches on/off the poses game. This becomes active during recording and provides three random poses that the user can again imitate. These are easy. On recording the effect begins and the timer starts. The timer tells the user when the shutter/flash/clicking operation is going to be carried out thereby telling the user when to pose. An audible shutter along with a flash is seen which is common to both the front camera view as well as the back camera view, the only difference being that the flash objects in the scene light up too. Once the three poses are done, a segmentation effect places the user with a filter applied in the form of a gif from the three photos taken with the chosen backgrounds. The effect enables the use of Instagram Music too. The important aspect is that it can be used to take a video but it is mostly applicable to Reels. The gif effect is seen for 9-10 seconds which combined with the image capturing fits into the 15 seconds time frame of Reels. How we built it Initially we started off with a simple way of cutting the current frame using the Delay frame patch in SparkAR and testing the gif effect. Slight changes were made to loop the images and obtain the maximum yet feasible speed. Then the poses were made and added along with the timer and the flash. The poses however were in the form of white frames that the user was supposed to fit into which did not look easy to use, nor imitate. The backgrounds were then added in the form of animation sequences and the filters along with the orange and red halo effects were added. The camera shutters were incorporated with the pose cards and the basic functionality to utilize these objects. Finally the flash modules were built using blender by projecting images onto shapes and then imported along with the associated code to move it around. Fine tuning was required in certain cases to align the various components and handle the transparency effects. Challenges we ran into Alignment of the various components Use of the segmentation with segmentation textures and three frames for each photo image. Timing in certain cases Finding a way to fit our effects to the requirements of Reels and how people would use them. To find a way to gel all the different components together and make sense of what the effect represents Accomplishments that we're proud of The timing is perfect. The lighting with the lighting probe 3D objects that provide a very high level of realism and matches the backgrounds perfectly. Makes the entire effect look real. It is essentially a simple way of taking photos and combining the video taking process as well as the editing. What we learned The delay frame component of SparkAR provides a robust method of interacting with the environment and 3D space. Most of the time the Patches have greater flexibility than the javascript code in interacting with positions, scaling and yet it is necessary to add the additional functionality that What's next for LazyShoot Provide a more immersive experience with lots of backgrounds and face filters. Also to some extent try to use the segmentation to make it look like the user is in the studio without shading defects and with shadows that will provide a different experience of being in a studio than having the studio at home/local environment.

Inspiration I love traveling, but the travel memories seem so distant during COVID-19. Some friends shared their travel memories on Instagram, and some Photoshopped themselves on scenic spots in different countries. This inspired me to create an interesting and interactive filter that my friends and I can still have fun when staying at home. What it does Just a tap away, this filter can take you to different countries. 1) Tap on the button of Russia (RU), you can look around the 360-degree Red Square in Moscow. 2) In the US, apart from the background of the classic Brooklyn Bridge, tap on anywhere of the picture, you can take a selfie or video of your interaction with the animated Statue of Liberty. You can dance, act, talk to her. Anything. 3) Tap on the button of Japan (JP), the filter will take you to appreciate cherry blossom in Kyoto. 4) In Mexico (MX), your face will be a colorful skull. 5) In the UK, tap on anywhere of Big Bang background, a phone booth will start moving. Tap again, it will stop. How I built it I started with background segmentation and used Picker UI to create the five-country settings. Then I tried to add some fun in each setting. A sphere was used to create a sense of panorama. The Statue of Liberty and the phone booth used Plane Tracker. The cherry blossom was generated with Particle Systems, while the skull used Face Tracker. For the assets, I used license-free pictures and 3D objects Challenges I ran into The main challenge was I did not know how to put a 3D object in a certain setting. For example, the Statue of Liberty appeared in every setting. At first, I thought I needed layers for 3D objects to separate them, but it did not work. I watched many tutorials and tried to write scripts, but in vain. Then I tried to connect Visible of 3D objects to Picker UI, it just worked! Another challenge was I did not know Picker UI can be used to change backgrounds. At first, I used Animation Sequence, but I could not interact with the background. It just kept changing. After searching and watching some tutorials, it occurred to me I could use Picker UI. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I’m proud that I deliver my idea quite completely because of many functions I never use before. I was really happy when I realized how to make 3D objects visible and invisible because I was stuck by that for a long time. My second hurdle was how to animate 3D objects. At first, I tried to modify others’ scripts for many times, but they just didn’t work. Then I watched a few materials, just to have a general idea. After that, I learned from scratch on SparkAR tutorials (Procedural Animation & Thumbs Up). With trial and error on the patch editor, I make 3D objects move! What I learned One of the most important things I learned was to keep logical. Sometimes, when I focused too much on how to use a function, I forgot my purpose and need. For example, when I was learning Picker UI, I was distracted by Slider UI, which I didn’t need for this filter. Another thing I learned was to keep trying. Picker UI, making 3D objects appear in different settings, and animate 3D objects were the three major functions I learned. It took a while, but it’s worth it! What's next for WindowTravel? I hope to add more countries and interactive objects. If the file is too big, I may create version 2.0 or separate for different continents, such as WindowTravel Asia. Also, I hope users can customize their travel destinations, such as set their own background. Built With javascript sparkar Try it out www.instagram.com www.instagram.com

Twist Dance Inspiration I recently saw a lot of filters and effects on Instagram and Facebook and I got an Inspiration after seen the one Filter zombie and I thought why don't I make my own filter with some playback music. What it does Our idea innovates the way how animation can reach thoughts by creating an innovative idea of animated Twist Dance with the music and also doing some action with the hands. How I built it 1) Face the camera to the real world 2) Add a PlaneTracker to the scene 3) Import the animated FBX file from Mixamo and make it a child under PlaneTracker https://www.mixamo.com 4) Add a PlaybackControllers 5) Attach the animation clip to the controller 6) Attach the controller for the object inside the scene 7) Attach the audio playback controller and import the audio file from your computer 8)Add a Speaker to the audio playback controller and select the audio file and select the file name of music. Accomplishments that we're proud of We are proud of the idea we've developed which can impact the animation technology on a large scale. the filter help to think about some new creative filters and also helps the animation industry to develop the latest World AR objects. What I learned - In developing up an application for this hackathon, we got good exposure with some tools like Spark AR and Animations We've also learned how to manage work among the team members and make things work out well. What's next We would like to add some more improvements in the future to make the Real World AR objects. and try to add features to improve it more. Built With sparkar Try it out www.instagram.com

Inspiration we had a brainstorming session between the two of us where we were pitching ideas to each other at one point we came down to ghost busters and whack-a-mole and then we just decided to make both and Whac-a- ghost was born What it does Basically it is a game in which you are supposed to "Whac" ghosts (Skulls) to increase your score within a time frame.it also applies a ghost filter to a people who enter the scene How we built it We built it using SparkAR. and used the spark AR library for the 3d models, blender for retouching the models and the sounds were made with voice maker and edited with audacity the skull model was originally made by link Challenges we ran into The timer bar was a little bit of challenge and also the sound. the main challenge was to build the entire effect in the patch editor only we did cheat a bit with the number to text conversion and score counter What we learned We got more familier with Spark AR and also with git version control. What's next for Whack a Ghost Next, we will try to make small changes to make it more snappy and less sluggish, perhaps a scoreboard, different difficulty modes, Built With audacity blender javascript sketchfab sparkar Try it out www.instagram.com

Scene_001 Inspiration Trees have long been a subject of interest and a topic of discussion and it's no wonder , they represent life, growth, peace, and nature. That's why i made this filter. What it does well this filter can remind people that trees are not servants , they are your life partner this filter will remind you what man kind did to trees and why they are so important in your life. filter goes like a story. How I built it Asset creation 1.downloaded 3d model from sketch fab via in-build AR Library {CC licence} 2. created images using Gimp 3.created audio using text to speech using https://www.naturalreaders.com/online/ audio compressed using 3rd party online service https://www.compresss.com/compress-audio.html In Spark AR 1. used patch editor to change 3d object and audio playing in background 2. used particle system for oxygen and carbon dioxide in filter 3. used patch editor for animations , instructions and so on. 4. images compressed manually for better experience Challenges I ran into Spark AR BUG worst bug :- when i export it to spark hub and clicked on submit button then it says not uploading #error in spark ar everything is good to upload 1-2 mb file size , tried several times. Didn't uploaded Then after several days of hangover , i replaced my assets this time removed high-low-poly 3d object to low-lowpoly 3d object , then i'm able to submit it. Bug :- Its not showing correct project size , In my case my project size shown in spark ar in asset summery is 10mb but actual size is more than 40 mb , that is the reason i cant submit it in hub Still this Bug is alive Accomplishments that I'm proud of we need to take care , who cared us , who protected us ..... most of the time history says man kind didn't protected people who raised them . i'm happy if some one tried/watched this filter , at-least one moment they will think about it. What I learned every time its a improvement , tried somany patch even i dont know how to use them , its like a jigsaw puzzle connecting one node end up with errors then try next one until it solves . spark ar community is always helpful for content creation , tips , cool developers...etc What's next for Save Tree and Save Life creating visual effects and improved visual experience .

Move It effect in action Inspiration I was inspired by Reels videos of people dancing or doing acrobatics and wanted to create an easy to use and entertaining effect for them to apply to their videos. What it does A series of snapshots (neon silhouettes of the person) are created at a set interval and the images are placed in relation to a plane tracker so that the snapshots appear to stand at a fixed position in space even when the camera is moving. How I built it I used segmentation features of Spark AR Studio to cut out the outline of the person in the camera image. I used Render passes to create a series of snapshots of the person. I then used the plane tracker to create a 3d coordinate system in which to place the snapshots. I used a hit test to fix the snapshot images to a point on the tracked plane and did my own calculations to place, scale and rotate the snapshots to match the person moving. Challenges I ran into It was quite hard to test the effect myself as the effect uses the rear camera and a part of the effect comes from the device not being fixed on a tripod but I managed to do some tests using a mirror. However the final test only came when I filmed my model doing the acrobatics you see in the video. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I may have taken a roundabout approach as I am no expert in 3d calculations but I managed to calculate the camera frustum in order to place and scale the neon silhouettes in 3d space. That was the first time I've tried this and I did many tests step by step to ensure my calculations were correct. What I learned I've learned quite a few things relating to scripting and asynchronous vs synchronous execution. What's next for Move It I am looking forward to releasing it on Instagram and see what people do with it. Built With sparkarstudio Try it out www.instagram.com

Inspiration During this lockdown period people cannot go out to different location and click pictures so we came up with this idea What it does It helps the user to click pictures with the background of different places like beach,forest,mountain,etc. How we built it We built this effect using spark ar studio and for the effect we used background segmentation and particle emitter effect for the falling leave kind of effect . Challenges we ran into We tried to add a 3d object with the background segmentation but it did not work out as we thought so later on we dropped its idea. Accomplishments that we're proud of Seeing the final effect and having our family members enjoy it made us very proud of what we created. What we learned We learned about segmentation and how to create an emitter effect and also the use of patch editor was a great experience.

Inspiration We all know the famous Music producer and DJ Marshmello . He always wear his iconic Helmet to hide his face. When someone asked him that why he hie his face then he said “I don't take my helmet off because I don't want or need fame. I'm genuinely trying to create something positive for people to connect with.” Those words are inspiration for me to make this effect. One of the Indian movie called “Secret Superstar” inspired me. That’s why I thought , New generation will like this trend of hiding face. What it does When we turn on our camera either front or back. We will see Paper Bag on our face . We will also able to see Facial expression of our own on this Paper Bag. We can make different expression Like if we raise our eyebrows and then our pupil will appear big. When we open our mouth , we can see upper teeth. How I built it We built it on Spark Ar . We assign users face mesh to the animated eyes and mouth. Then We added some interactions to it . In Segmentation part , we added Gif file at the backfground. Challenges I ran into Assigning face mesh to the expressions or animated eyes and mouth is quite challenging for us. Also putting expression on a paper bag was difficult for us. Accomplishments that I'm proud of Uniqueness in effect What I learned To built effect for instagram What's next for Secret Superstar We will try to add some more details to this effect for enthusiastic artist users.

Inspiration Visuals were inspired by the beauty and impermanence of cherry blossom petals falling from the trees. In terms of technology use, the source of information was this Spark AR Studio tutorial . What it does Designed to use with front camera in open space areas, this effect creates two streams of cherry blossom petals falling, as if pushed by wind. Bigger one acts as a background while the other subtly flows in front of the user. How we built it We made a simple texture for a cherry blossom petal. In Spark AR Studio, we created two particle systems. We set the background in world space and the foreground part in camera space. We used segmentation to hide the background behind the user. Challenges we ran into The biggest issue was finding the right idea - something simple enough for us to build, but nice to look at as well. Accomplishments that we're proud of Completing this entry and creating a ready to use effect is a win for us. What we learned A big part was learning the interface and basic operations inside of Spark AR Studio. Fortunately, we found the tutorials that showed us the way to go. What's next for Sakura There are currently no plans for further development of this effect. Try it out github.com www.instagram.com

WORKING ON MODEL a bird view of our effect love this flowers Inspiration For the past months, Our team have been experimenting on how we can get users to interact with augmented reality experiences in the real world. I love to visit different wonderland and experience the same as a fairy tale with all sparkles and glitters as small as Galaxie and creating Magic Space like a small kid who always aspires to visit and to experience it What it does It enables the user to tap on-screen on your back camera at any place or surface then the screen appears to Sparkle and it interacts with you, with full of shine, flowers and butterflies and much more and this effect is simple and attractive for the users. How I built it Adding small interactive things which make our Filter attractive. We have added lights to the trunk of a tree which revolves up and down and added a galaxy world with small tiny stars which make look beautiful Using different particles, Spotlights, null objects and adding 3d models , interactive butterflies using scripts and different patches in our project The main base is our project is Plane Tracker where we added all our models And used many patches to connect each other Challenges I ran into I have faced issues related particles which we have to show like galaxy world and using spotlight with null objects. At the time of making a filter of just 4mb makes a tough to compress it and without reducing the quality and needs of our filter Accomplishments that I'm proud of And we are proud of completing the project successfully with our basic skills and knowledge of Augmented Reality. Enjoyed in participation in this world Ar Hackathon What I learned We all learned about many connections of patches and scripts about our filter, we basically learned how to create a World Effect using Spark AR What's next for The World Of Magical Corner Next version may be the doing a portal of this world to experience in a much better way.

What do superheros do when they're not saving the world? They dance! Inspiration When we heard Drax the Destroyer say "There are two types of beings in the universe. Those who dance, and those who do not." to Star-Lord we decided we wanted to see our beloved characters dance. We then decided we wanted to dance with them. What it does You can place the character wherever you want on the screen and pick the dance you want to do with it- A dance-off, a tutorial or a follow along! The cute character forces a person to want to try it out and dance with them. How we built it We used Spark AR, JavaScript, Mixamo, and Blender. Spark AR & JavaScript- Creating the filter by using plane tracker, Native picker, animation sequences, and various other features. Blender- Character development and animation. Mixamo- Character animation Challenges we ran into Since we both are new in blender and we never had transferred an object with animation in blender to spark AR. Hence we were facing a lot of issues like the model was deforming or animation wasn't working. Then while we provided the test link it worked for few and for a few the filter was taking time to load hence we had a tough time with this. Accomplishments that we're proud of We are proud that the filter came out well as we had expected and designed while discussing. From this, we learned a lot in spark AR like picker, plane tracking, and various other topics. We also learned to work around objects and animation in blender.

I've seen a lot of filters with the render pass and they really inspired me, I really wanted to learn that feature and I've to thanks many people that shared their projects that really helped me to learn Another important part for me was the music, I love music, I always listen to it while I'm working so I really wanted my filter to be audio responsive This filters shows some flames behind the user (using the scene render pass and the delay frame patches), the flames follow the user using the segmentation feature. I've used an UI picker to allow the user to choose if he wants the flames to have a standard height of if they should react to music (I've used the audio analyzer path for that) There are also a pair of 3D glasses that I've realized that the user can move or hide using the UI slider The user can change the color of the flames and of the flames just by tapping the screen There is a LUT on the screen to change the color of the filter and make them warmer :) I really think that this filter could be perfect for reels since the users can dance while the flames react to the music, or it could also be used for funny videos to make an angry character ;) Thanks for attention, I really hope you like my filter :) Github link: https://github.com/LucaMor28/Flames Test link: https://www.instagram.com/ar/345344269845648/?ch=MjE1ZDgzMTJjOTU3YTdkM2UxOWFmYjkxNjQ5MTcxNWE%3D https://www.instagram.com/ar/345344269845648/ https://www.instagram.com/ar/334943344386934/?ch=NWUwN2I4YzcyZjdjMTI1YjhhMDk0YTBhZDUyMTg5MTE%3D Built With particle Try it out www.instagram.com github.com

Freezing is always Fun! Inspiration Got inspired by flash effects and VFX for lut What it does It will allow the user to capture the frame by the delay sequence and create all freeze frames. How I built it I build it using spark AR studio, used canvas, and added rectangles to add capturing frames or video, another rectangle for human segmentation, and added the third layer for the frame Outlook. Challenges I ran int. I faced the challenge to align the rectangles and setting a proper aspect ratio for all the devices. Then at human segmentation face the challenge in adding lut to the camera texture. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I am proud that I achieved the quality and aspect ratio which suits every device and the camera texture merged with the different types of luts very well. And learned very well on how to use RenderPass. What I learned I learned how to set the aspect ratio for all devices and lut handler and implementing the render pass What's next for Freeze Frames Delay frames will get automatic shutters once the face detected instead of holding on the record button so that the user can record freely.

Black rainbow Black rainbow Black rainbow Inspiration For us, Reels is a new round and new format in Instagram, it opens up huge opportunities for creativity. We really wanted to create a vivid effect that allows us to forget for a while about the situation in the world with COVID-19. Take a break from this theme, immerse yourself in the world of AR and enjoy the dance rhythm they create in dance. Since dancing is always movement, life, they give all of us a surge of energy, mood and help to express our feelings. What it does The filter follows your silhouette with neon lines and fills it with chaotic bright elements. The broken glass effect is surprising. With it, you can enjoy dancing and amaze your followers. How I built it This effect was created with Spark AR Studio and actually in the patch editor. Challenges I ran into The difficulty arose mainly in the concept and visualization of the effect, so that the effect was harmoniously displayed in combination with other elements of the effect, since internal chaotic particles were used, which had to be transformed by neon lines Accomplishments that I'm proud of We are proud that people are very fond of our effect and more and more often shoot with it their incendiary dances, dances of relatives and friends. We receive a lot of positive feedback to support the effect. This gives us motivation to create further and create new bright effects, try to make people happier and bring a piece of positive to the circle of their relatives and friends, since the world is not always bright, and we all lack this kindness, positive. and respect for each other. What I learned When creating any effect, it is also important to study every detail, element, and optimization. As of today, the effect may not work correctly on some Android models. Unfortunately, we cannot influence this, but we speak about it openly and truthfully. We learned how to manage segmentation and combine the necessary elements with a recent feature, the render pass. What's next for Black Rainbow Spark AR is getting more features and integrations, and new creative possibilities are opening up for developers. Try it out www.instagram.com

Blur your background Pixelate your background Add noise to your background Darken your background Inspiration Sometimes when you are telling a story, you don't want to show your background. Maybe there is some secret project that you don't want to reveal to your audience just yet, or maybe you just don't want to clean up the room. We thought that this problem was lacking a proper solution, so we've created one! We've named it Privacy Background. What it does Privacy Background filter allows you to hide your background partially or completely by choosing from 5 different styles: pixelation, blur, noise, darkening, and brightening. You can adjust the level visibility of the background with slider and tap to instantly reveal or hide it. It can be used simply for utilitarian use: to hide a mess behind you, but it can also be used as a storytelling tool. Epic reveals, stylish transitions, an additional mystery in the story — those are just some examples. We are sure that creative bloggers will find way more ways to use it than we can think of at the moment. How we built it First, we've learned how patches work and found ready implementations for blur and pixelation in the AR Library. We were very hopeful for easy implementation. After finding some limitations, we've decided to invest time in learning Scripting APIs. This turned out to be the suited approach. We ended up creating a custom shader for each of the effects. To build the UI we decided to stick with native components and use Picker to change the selected effect and Slider to adjust its strength. Challenges we ran into Each of the effects brought its own, unique challenges. A simple version of Pixelate was easy to develop, but since each "big pixel" used as a source pixel in one corner, it created a skin-colored row of pixels on one side of the head. To battle this, we've added the logic to always try to use pixel that is not part of the segmentation mask. It helped greatly, and now we always have a pixelated background looking like a person's head was never even there. Blur turned out to be the hardest. Even though a basic implementation of blur is pretty straightforward, it was hard to develop a version that would blur the whole background significantly. With the increase of blur radius, the number of texture samples grew too much, and our phones simply couldn't sustain 30 FPS. More efficient blur algorithms didn't seem to work as those rely on frame buffers and the creation of resulting picture in steps. With SparkAR's shaders, it does not seem to be possible at the moment (or at least we didn't find how to do it). So we went the other route: downsampling source texture, blurring it, and upsampling it back. As those operations are also not really supported by SparkAR, all resizing is done virtually. The end result does not look exactly like a classic box blur nor like a gaussian blur (it looks more like if you had four eyes and got hit on the head really hard), but it does translate the intent well and works at 30FPS. Add noise brought a different set of problems. Generating randomness in a frame for each pixel is quite challenging. It seems that true randomness is just impossible and pseudo-random solutions, suggested in the community, didn't work well. Either they were not random enough, which resulted in clear visual patterns, or they didn't work at all. One of the solutions worked well in SparkAR emulator, but on the device, some kind of number overflow error happened and lead to the background turning grey after just a couple of seconds of runtime. The path to a solution was a path of many trials and errors: combining all possible values through many different functions. In the end, we got a pretty good result, but even this implementation works differently on different phones. For darken and brighten effects we started with an easy linear change in brightness. This variant worked well but seemed not that useful. The background was truly hidden only when the effect was at 95%. We spent some time trying to make it better and came up with formulas that adjust the brightness of the source image based on the brightness of each pixel. For example, for darken , bright parts of the image will stay bright for the most range of the effect, while darker parts will shift to black very fast. This hides details first but keeps some information from the original image visible, leading to more uses of the effect. Accomplishments that we're proud of We made a filter that solves a problem and it works exactly as we envisioned it. With are in love with how it looks and works and can't wait for others to try it out. What we learned We've learned a lot about how shaders work. SparkAR's documentation on this topic is pretty much missing, so we had to go deeper and look into OpenGL Shaders and try to translate learned concepts to JavaScript APIs. While challenging at times, it was a fun and rewarding process. What's next for Privacy Background We are looking into further optimizing how blur works, and we are also thinking of adding more creative options for background styles: volumetric fog, tropical rains, kaleidoscopes, and many more. Possibilities are limitless.

Inspiration This year, due to the lockdown I've noticed that the artists in the music industry started to depend on VFX to make their music videos stand out. That's why I wanted to create a filter that can look like a music video simulation to the user. Moreover, I think such a filter would be exciting and fun to use as an Instagram Reel with all the new trends going around. This way everyone can create a fun, creative video in their home safely. What it does It's an immersive filter with person segmentation to add a unique color to the main person, which is accompanied by two smaller duplicates of the person in a negative color. There are a sum of 8 rectangles for the persons, the RGB shift/VHS look, transparent background, and for the grain. The transparent background with person segmentation scales up and down with an audio analyzer according to the sound. How I built it Built with Spark AR, Adobe Lightroom for the color Lut and Picsart for the background transparent image. What I learned Even in hard times like these creativity and inspiration can be found in every little thing, people have the ability to make the most out of things and brighten the day of others by providing a little fun. What's next for VHS Dreams I'd like to transform the shape of the thunderbolt to other geometric or abstract shapes with an audio analyzer.

Spark AR Studio preview Blender preview Self-published Graffiti Journal Inspiration Location-based AR and local graffiti. What it does This filter shows the potential for communities to preserve street art that constantly changes over time. By capturing different iterations of graffiti murals, users can virtually rewind or fast-forward to artwork based on a specific landmark. How I built it This proof-of-concept was created using Spark AR Studio and Blender. Challenges I ran into Spark does not currently support Location/GPS based markers. I am using a planar tracker to fix the 3D model in place, Accomplishments that I'm proud of I am proud of the script I manipulated to allow Native UI buttons to update the textures on my model when users tap on the screen to select a specific year, effectively retrieving the artwork for that time period. What I learned Location-based features are very important to AR and should be added to Spark AR Studio as other platforms have currently capitalized on this option. What's next for Graffiti Time Capsule I want to create an AR version of a self-published journal documenting local graffiti via a cross-browser solution that can handle location GPS data coordinates to trigger AR versions of the murals. Using javascript buttons I'd like users to interactively update the textures of the modeled locations and enjoy present artworks along with others that are no longer available, and possibly works that don't yet exist.

User chooses a song from library Music starts playing and the lights and contours change Musical notes appears on the screen as they blink Inspiration Music is an extremely powerful tool for stories and Instagram Reels, besides being something that motivates me a lot to be creative. So I wanted to create an interactive and customizable filter by the users so that they could interact with the music and create light effects synchronized to the beat. What it does This effect asks the user to choose any song from library and creates contours and light effects synchronized with the music while music notes appears as they blink. The lights and contours alternate according to the rhythm of the chosen song. How I built it The effect was created with camera segmentation and particle emission in Spark AR. I replicated the contours of the user and selected the colors to switch, I also defined particles to be emitted as musical notes when the user blinks and the rotation of the light to rotate confronts the music. Challenges I ran into I had to find out how to synchronize a song in the library with the effects I selected, in addition to discovering the look I would like to apply to the effect and how to make the general idea work. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I managed to turn my idea into the expected effect and make the experience interactive and fun. What I learned How to multiply the segmentation and how to make the effect interact with the music selected by the user. What's next for Blue Tunes I would be very happy to see users from different places using the personalized effect according to the chosen song and generating new content from my creation.

Some Examples. Some pics of the Laboratory. Hey there...lets vibe along ✌. Inspiration I always wanted to create a Instagram effect that potentially millions of people around the world can use, but I was somewhat reluctant to start. This hackathon gave me the motivation I needed .For the idea,I thought, during these tough times where meeting people is still not okay, why not let our AR friends bring some smiles on our faces ?! What it does In This Instagram effect you can vibe along with Riley or Drift. Also to make the vibes more visual there is some RGB magic .Come on who doesn't love some RGB !! How I built it I built it using Facebook's amazing SparkAR studio.For Riley and Drift I used Blender and some open sourcing. In Spark i used the plane tracking module for the placing the models and used segmentation for the _ RGB magic _ . The RGB is reactive, that is it will vibe with the music, that it can hear. I also used some JavaScript for the movement of the models. Challenges I ran into Well I was completely new to this zone and in the beginning I was completely clueless on how to implement the idea.I had no idea about how 3D objects worked,animations and stuff.So I got stuck in a lot of places but luckily I started quite early and had about 30 days to implement this.I found myself visiting the Spark AR community Facebook page very frequently. The people there are just awesome.As my project used 2 models it was a little hard to stay under the memory constraints.For that I had to learn different types of compressions. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I am happy that I was able to implement my idea just as I wanted.The learning curve was steep but I did it. What I learned I learned a lot about AR and 3d models.I also learned that the best way to learn something is to just dive right into it.I am excited and can't wait to create some more IG effects in the coming times. What's next for Vibe Along I cant wait to bring some more characters to the Vibe along family.Also I will make sure they learn some new moves ;-) .

https://devpost.com/software/tag-yourself-ig-filter
Inspiration We are millennials who simply cannot walk past a weird occurrence without saying "That's me" or "What a mood." We decided to make this trend into a filter that users can place using World AR in order to visually convey that same joke or sense of identity. What it does The Tag Yourself filter lets users add a simple text tag to their environment that says "mood", "me", "you", "us", or "vibes". This filter uses Spark AR's plane tracker to place the tag in the user's world. The Native UI picker allows users to pick which tag they want to add to their world and the Native UI slider allows them to adjust the height so they can apply it to anything, from a ladybug to a building. Users can also tap to move the tag and pinch to scale it so that it can fit perfectly into their environment. How we built it For this filter, we created our 3D models in Maya and textured them in Photoshop. Once we put those models into Spark AR, we added customization options using the Native UI picker and slider via javascript. We also added some animation via patches to give the tags life and energy for a little extra polish. Challenges we ran into One of the biggest challenges for this project was finding a color scheme that allowed the words to be legible on any background while still being fun and engaging. We addressed this with a combination of several tactics: first was to use bright, bold colors not commonly found in the world around us. We also added an outline on the text so that even if the text color matched the background it was placed on, it would still be discernible. The last step to make the text clear and legible was to use flat, unlit materials. This gave the text a bright and cartoony style that easily separates it from the real world. Accomplishments that we're proud of We are really pleased with how this filter came out. We loved our idea as soon as we sent the first test of it in our group chat- the word "me" pointing to a 12 foot tall skeleton at Home Depot. We're proud that we were able to successfully turn our favorite type of humor into an easy to use filter that conveys the concept clearly and visually. What we learned We've played around with the Native UI slider in the past, but this was our first filter where we were able to really successfully integrate it into the concept. It works perfectly for adjusting the height of the tag without changing the size of the text itself. Users can still pinch to scale the tag, but the slider allows them to place the tag over something short or tall without the text being too small or too big. This combination of UI allows the user to easily place the tag exactly how they want it. What's next for Tag Yourself IG Filter There's a limitless amount of things we can add to this filter. Some of higher priority include adding more words, colors, and animations to allow users to truly customize this filter to fit whatever aesthetic they'd like.

Camera Preview Pattern Rendered Preview Inspiration I love music and I wanted to make an effect that responds to it. I always see segmentation effects that change the background and I have never seen a segmentation effect that puts something over the segmented person. What it does The effect puts a transparent colored pattern over the body. When the user picks a music track, the pattern starts to rotate, twist and shift its colors with the music. How I built it I used the SDF patches to create the pattern. That allowed me to control different aspects of the pattern in real-time that I can attach to the audio analyzer. Then I selected three features of the pattern to animate and I used a script to make the audio signals control the speed of these features. Finally, I used segmentation to show the pattern inside the user's silhouette. Update 09/04/2020 I recently realized that Instagram Reels don't accept effects that use the "Instagram music" patch. As a workaround, I made another version that uses the input from the microphone as suggested in the spark ar community group on Facebook. I included the original version link as well just for fun. Challenges I ran into I've never used SDF patches before and they are a little bit hard to understand. But the hardest challenge was to use the audio analyzer and the energy meter to take the signals I wanted. Accomplishments that I'm proud of The huge complex multicolor pattern I produced with SDF patches and the math I used to convert the audio signal into three numeric signals. What I learned I learned to analyze audio, to use scripts to control the speed of animations, and to draw cool stuff with SDF patches. What's next for Psychedelic Twist I was thinking of adding preset color palettes to a UI picker so the user can choose a different set of colors for the pattern.

I wanted to create an effect that would add just enough distortion without explicitly showing the body, or create opportunities for interesting distortion to happen with movement that would inspire a creative, funny or shareable moment. What it does The filter wiggles your body movement. How I built it I built the filter using Spark AR and the patch editor, specifically by using render pass and delay frames with sdf rectangles. Challenges I ran into The challenge was to add enough rectangles for interesting delay and distortion to occur while not adding too many frames that would cause the filter to crash. Also, it was my first time experimenting with render pass, so there's always a fun challenge in learning how to use and combine patches. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I love how this filter turned out. It's simple but opens up a new style of creative performance that is funny and unusual. What I learned I learned how to use render pass, and how to be more organized in the patch editor. I learned how to group patches, add comments, and create patch asset groups to more easily make edits without having to manually edit values.

This effect works with Background Segmentation, in order to create a Bounce effect along with the User Segmentation Mask Texture. The Bounce effect was adjusted using the Spark AR Studio Patch Editor and the color-changing lights effect was created using an Animation Sequence of 5 PNG color frames. I’ve also added a custom instruction on opening to warn the user that this effect contains flashing images. Challenges I ran into Making an effect that's simple but fun at the same time. Accomplishments that I'm proud of The size of this project is only 4.4 kB What I learned I've learned that even if an effect looks complicated, the compression tools in Spark AR Hub reduces the file size. What's next for Disco Lights I think this effect is a great Reels complement because it’s simple, lightweight and very easy to use so I think it could be a success 😄 Built With animation editor mask particle patch segmentation sequence Try it out github.com www.instagram.com

Yoga Inspiration The theme being Instagram Reels, I wanted to make something out of the box which can get viral. In this Covid-19 situation, everyone is bored at home and trying something new. I thought of making something which can be used by a lot of users. What it does The filter gives you a nucleon alien look and gives you the ability to show off your moves without getting camera conscious. How I built it The effect was made with the help of Spark AR studio, using patch editor. Firstly, I made an outline to the body then replaced the person with a stock image and then with the help of patch I added the option to choose your music from Instagram. Challenges I ran into It was very difficult for me to pick a background track, after watching some tutorials I realized that I can use Instagram Music and people can choose a number for themselves which makes it customizable. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I think the way it looks is really cool and with the ability to choose a song makes it unique. What I learned Patience is very important when you have to dwell something new along with experiments. What's next for Nucleon As Spark AR would be getting more features and integration, there will be a lot of opportunities for the developers to show their creativity. There are some minor improvements to make it sharper. Try it out www.instagram.com

Process screenshot Process screenshot Inspiration I was inspired by my love of nature and tropical fish to build an interactive aquarium I could share as a virtual experience allowing others to swim underwater with popular tropical fish species. What it does The filter allows users to immerse themselves inside of a 360 degree underwater panorama and enjoy 14 animated species swimming around them in an endless loop. How I built it I used Blender to animate individual fish and a turtle. Once I exported all of the animals I created a virtual 360 degree environment and combined the models using Spark AR. Finally, once the models were looping and animating correctly I added interactive controls and audio. Challenges I ran into The most challenging obstacle for me was creating individual animations in Blender and linking each looped clip to play seamlessly, along with patching the network of interactive controls. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I am most proud to share my love of nature and underwater sea life with others. To bring awareness and appreciation to a fragile eco system that is threatened by pollution, and hopefully spark the public's interest in preserving and nurturing reef environments around the world. What I learned I learned about the many limitations of the FBX format and Spark's animation controller. I also learned about combining 3d animated models in Spark AR and 360 planar trackers. What's next for Tropical Fish Experience This framework can be used to create many other 360 degree experiences that allow users to travel virtually in AR or VR. Other applications can include eco-systems, planetary exploration, chemistry, biology or dna visualizations, or even historical tours and entertainment!

https://devpost.com/software/covid-19-detector
Inspiration In light of the ever-evolving Covid-19 situation. One day I was reading the news that CoronaVirus is spreading very quickly and highly developed countries like the USA and Italy are not capable of handling this virus. Most striking news was earlier it takes up to 2 days for just testing whether the patient is COVID positive or not. Then after some advancements also, it is taking some hours to test. So, I thought there should be the minimum time to test this virus so that actions can be taken as soon as possible because of its highly contagious nature. What it does This project is my contribution to helping to analyze the probability of a person having the infection. Technologies that were made to convert information so that it can be accessible to computers are used to aid people and I can contribute to a social cause. COVID 19 Detector is a Web Application Prototype Developed by ME and built for Doctors to find out whom to test for the infection first under a limited testing capacity by finding out the probability of a person having the infection. It takes the symptoms of the patient and within seconds it will try to predict the probability whether the patient may be positive for coronavirus or not. How I built it This Web App is a dashboard developed in Flask (Python), HTML, Bootstrap/CSS and using Machine Learning. World map is created using Mapbox-Map-GL. Currently, I'm using pythonanywhere.com 's server for the deployment of this web app. Challenges I ran into Accuracy was the greatest challenge because symptoms of a pneumonic patient and a person having COVID can be similar. After all, pneumonia can be a symptom of COVID-19. So, to classify COVID cases from pneumonic cases separate was a big challenge in itself. Accomplishments that I'm proud of What makes my model different from other detectors out there is I didn't use transfer learning for training my model. This model uses a technique called Logistic regression. By training the Database and import the machine learning model into an HTML file with the Flask (web framework).Data to be randomly generated for this Prototype. I tested my model the data and achieved 81% accuracy on training set and 80% accuracy on the test set. What I learned During developing this system, I learned how new technologies like AI and ML can be helpful in any field like healthcare. Understand the important effect that technology has on the medical facility today. What's next for COVID-19-Detector For future work This model allows better priority to certain people who are affected by the virus. Right now I have designed the project for One Disease but it can be designed for more number of diseases. It acts as a life-saving device. -All the tools and technologies used for developing COVID-19 detector are free hence the cost of production and development is close to NULL. All COVID-19 detector required is an internet connection which makes it affordable for everyone. Also, I am doing more research on how to make this system even more accurate so that govt. and hospitals can make use of this system at a higher scale and people can be benefited from this.

Shot_2 Shot_1 Inspiration To create something fun and lively in these time of lockdown. I started looking through the AR projects over the internet and I did not come across any project that utilizes pixel art as a theme. This inspired me to make a pixel art style WorldAR. .## What it does It lets you groove around with fun little minions on your table using plane tracking feature at the back of the mobile camera. How I built it I made all the arts using Aseprite, Affinity Designer. Animated them using Juice FX. I used Spark AR for augmenting these virtual art into the real life. I used the music from spark AR library. Challenges I ran into I had zero experience in pixel arts and animation but that was the whole gist of the project that I was getting into. So I buckled up learned by hit and trial method and honestly it was fun getting into learning pixel art. Next challenge was to animate these art and I have no knowledge in animation so I took a help of a fun little software "Juice FX" to animate my pixel art in no time. In all it was a fun experience where I learned something new along the way. Accomplishments that I'm proud of Made my first pixel art and animation and a got a better understanding of the pipeline used in different environments. What I learned Pixel art, some animations and a better understanding of pipelines. What's next for Rave_AR I am looking forward to add a emissive dancing floor, add some drinks and table or maybe adding a little animation which tells a fun little story. Built With sparkar

For this reason, I decided to make an application available to them that will teach them to memorise phrases that will be needed on a daily basis! What it does The application shows a lot of flashcards with useful phrases that you can easily remember and use every day! How I built it To begin with, it was difficult for me to get comfortable with the Spark AR platform since I was a real beginner. However, online lessons and information collected by me on the Internet helped me to realize this project! Challenges I ran into It was difficult to follow the code and not get confused and I think this is an extremely common problem for all programmers. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I was proud that after 12 hours of work I was able to create a complete application and I think it is really amazing! What I learned I learned to program on a new platform to create augmented reality and in fact it helped me a lot to understand the basic principles of programming!

Volibear Tracking Image Garen Tracking Image Ashe Tracking Image Volibear Attack Animation Garen Attack Animation Ashe Attack Animation Inspiration I really think AR is a tool that bridges the old and the new. And some classic board games and puzzles are still really fun, but they shouldn't be discounted because they were created before the digital age. I think adding new components to established games could breathe new life into them. People wrote Tetris off as an old school game until they developed a competitive mode. People laughed at the concept of Wizard Chess in Harry Potter when the pieces attacked each other, and everyone loved the idea of their Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh cards coming to life and now with AR this is all possible. It just surprises me that companies with successful IP's haven't made these features accessible to the mass casual gaming market, especially after the monumental success of Pokemon GO. What it does The camera searches for the allocated image, that being of a correctly completed rubik's cube side. Once it recognises the target image, the animation is triggered and the League of Legends character pops up and attacks. How I built it There's Windows friendly software call Obsidian, which allows you to fish out the various animations from League of Legends once you download it, I then imported the models and animations into Blender or Maya, scale the animations and check the imported textures, import the reworks into SparkAR Studio, apply the animation controller (for a final working version probably turn off loop animation) and set the target image tracker to a captured photo of the rubik's cube's completed sides. (Disclaimer: The image Tracking tends to work best with iPhones, and the test links and videos are in order they're posted. 1st link being for the yellow side which is Volibear, 2nd link being for the red side which is Garen and the 3rd link being for the blue side which is Ashe). Challenges I ran into I'm still yet to find animation software that imports 3D animations with the textures and materials, the champion textures and materials have a lot more parts so finding what goes where can be a bit of a mission sometimes. Also turns out image tracking works best for iPhones. Accomplishments that I'm proud of Learning about AR and building a filter portfolio with 90 million impressions, when I have an arts degree, not one in engineering or computer sciences. What I learned That I enjoy interactive, physically engaging games, that just sitting at a PC clicking a mouse isn't too enjoyable for me. Hopefully I find a market of people out there that think differently in what types of play and entertainment there is out there. What's next for League of Legends AR Puzzle game I developed a fully fledged demo for mobile in Unity with 2D puzzles, a life counter, timer, marketing plan and rules which I sent to Riot Forge, Riot Gaming's Indie publishing branch but never received a response, I'd love to get their attention so that Augmented Reality Puzzle Games could maybe become a game category moving forward. If I continue with the concept of a Rubik's cube, maybe it'll be cool to get to a point where different pattens play different animations as well, like if you make an X pattern it heals you or certain colour combinations do more damage, that way it becomes a memory game as well, so that just memorising the algorithm to solve one side of the rubik's cube won't guarantee a win. I'm honestly just experimenting with games I would like to see in the market with the hopes of gaining the attention of either Riot or Wizards of the coast.

Selfie Mode View and Features Real World View and Features Wear Mask Do not forget to wear mask Inspiration : The biggest inspiration to me was creating something new and especially with the Instagram Reel which is trending currently. What it does As covid cases are increasing day by day and people love to take the selfies and make the reels, this Filter helps people to remember that they have to wear mask and keep the social distance as COVID-19 is everywhere. When you start the filter and if you are on the selfie mode it will show Mask on your face and a banner above your head indicating you that Be safe wear Mask and COVID virus around you. And when you switch to the world it will display you that the virus is all around and you will see in the world that it show you indications that you have to wear the mask, stay home stay safe, what is the current date and day and multiple things which will always indicate that you have to stay safe. How I built it The software I used to build was Spark AR and Photoshop. I was just looking in the news that the COVID-19 cases are increasing day by day all over the world and there is no cure people are just suffering, that because either people forget to wear a mask or do not maintain social distance. At the same time, I also found many people are just roaming around making videos and enjoying the new feature of Instagram which is Reels. So I got an Idea why not make something which reminds people while taking selfies also and while looking into the real world also that COVID Virus is everywhere and they have to wear mask and maintain social distance. So I created this filter. Challenges I ran into There was one challenge about the language in the real world that to wear mask, as there are many countries where people do not understand English. So I thought why not insert the image of the mask on face in the Selfie mode and Image of Mask on the real-world mode also so that people can come to know that it is giving them a notification that they have to wear masks. The mask is the most important thing which can help to stop COVID-19 and save someone life. Accomplishments that I'm proud of It helps people to remember people that they have to wear mask and Maintain social Distance. What I learned A lot of things were there to learn especially In the world AR the placement and using the Particles effects. What's next for STAY SAFE World AR Next, I am planing if we can just insert the graph that indicates what is the real-time situation of the area, the country that how many COVID cases are found it will make them more attract and well informed about the current situation.

https://devpost.com/software/sailor-moon-ar
Update: Dynamic text removed to adhere to Spark AR Policy 2.4. 3D Object Moon Stick Submitted by Loren Rachelle Hicks Inspiration The inspiration for the Sailor Moon AR project came from thinking about plane tracking and what type of worlds/objects I would enjoy. Many people around the world identify with and/or enjoy the Sailor Moon series. The character of Sailor Moon is recognized as one of the most important female superheroes of all time. Sailor Moon is also one of the most popular manga series of all time and continues to enjoy high readership worldwide. The manga has sold over 35 million copies in over fifty countries, and the franchise has generated upwards of $13 billion in worldwide merchandise sales. The English adaptations of both the manga and the anime series became the first successful shōjo title in the United States. What it does This is a Sailor Moon themed augmented reality effect. The effect was created using Spark AR software. Features included segmentation-the process of separating a person from their environment – and plane tracking- in which an object appears when the desired surface is detected. The particle system was also utilized to create dynamic Moondust effects that were controlled for shape, size, speed, opacity, birth, and lifespan. Additional effects include: a high poly count 3D crescent moon wand model, plane tracking attached to a face mesh for positioning, golden directional light, as well as looped thematic audio. How I built it Utilizing three separate Spark AR tutorials I created the Sailor Moon AR effect. Adding and positioning lights , adding audio to your effects , and immersive floating particles . I replaced the 3D object flashlight from the adding and positioning lights tutorial with the high poly count crescent moon wand 3D object. The model contains 4,000+ triangles and 2,000+ vertices. It is composed of multiple textual components including emission, transparency, roughness and metality layers. The 3D object file was free to use for commercial purposes from a website called Sketchfab and was created by contributor feryzapata. Challenges I ran into Some of the more difficult aspects of creating this effect included finding a way to create an effect with an object meant for a comic or cartoon in the real world. Finding the right balance between colorization and light intensity for directional lighting took a bit of trial and error before finding the right harmony between color vibrancy and light intensity. Applying a texture-based material to the particle system was also difficult due to the significant transformations and scaling I needed to create the moon dust effect. Finding the right blending mode allowed the material to project on the moon dust consistently throughout its path of travel and achieve the desired effect. Another challenging technical aspect came from compressing my file for export and eventual application across multiple devices. When the file size was too large I found compression tips online. After following all of the suggestions I still had a massive file size that refused to compress. Only after exploring the individual components of my file did I find that it was not my texture files that needed to be compressed, which were the file types being cited in the compression tutorials, but my audio file that was in need of compression. I edited the file to contain a small refrain of the instrumentals containing the Sailor Moon chorus and was able to easily export my effect. Accomplishments I'm proud of I am mostly proud of how dynamic the Sailor Moon wand looks in the environment. I owe much of its success to its creator feryzapata but I feel the lighting chosen and the dimmed foreground mat controlled for opacity creates a tangible and emissive almost watercolor-like 3D object within a real environment. What I learned I’ve learned to seek the support of my community when rendering with unfamiliar software. When I needed creativity I sought out tutorials by the Spark AR team and reminisced with my friends about Sailor Moon. When I needed audio application assistance I sought out YouTube videos alongside Spark AR tutorials. The patch system was similar to software I had worked with in the past but was still something I challenged myself to learn due to its complexity of application. What's next for Sailor Moon AR The sky is the limit! I would love to find or render all of the Sailor Soldier items and add them to a UI picker. The actor could then choose their own specific item. Directional lighting in the future could correlate with the color scheme specific to the Sailor Moon item in the series.

spark ar figma Inspiration As a music lover, you've probably come up with a game where, given a time limit, you have to sing a song that includes a random word that is given to you. With many variations of this out there in the world, I thought I'd create an interactive filter based off the game ! What it does Once the user starts recording, the filter will display a randomly generated word, promoting the user to sing a song that includes that word in under 10 seconds! How I built it I used Figma to design the assets (which were custom made), which are inspired by Spotify's mobile app. The main reason why I based my design off of Spotify is b/c their design is recognized globally, which can ease users into using the effect - even potentially increasing overall usage! The effect was built in Spark AR using the patch editor and a script , written in JS . Challenges I ran into A challenge that I ran into was making the size and scale of the assets appear normal in a variety of phone screen sizes. I actually needed to update my asset designs to make this easier. Accomplishments that I'm proud of Before submitting on Spark AR, I sent test links to a bunch of my friends/followers. And based on the feedback, I was able to update my assets to be borderless and edit the countdown sounds to be less intrusive. As an aspiring product manager, this iterative implementation of feedback was something I was super proud of. I also found out that people REALLY enjoyed using it! The effect is fun & challenging, prompts reactions & creative performances from users, and the resulting videos are perfect for posting on both Instagram Story and Reels! What I learned I learned that is important to make sure that my effects have the same user experience on a variety of phones. Most people don't have the newest iPhone or Android. What's next for song association Potentially partnering with a music company/brand to increase exposure! I've already initiated a few dm conversations! Other Just wanted to note that the video is a compilation of various demo videos I made for my effect submission in the Spark AR dashboard.

360 Degree Panoramic View of Mars Astronaut Helmet using Face Tracker One with the Drone where I can tap it to see where it goes Selfie using this filter The Space Ship "Discovery" Introduction Greetings! I am Shubham Jain, a 22-year-old from India. I have graduated with my Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering and have been enrolled as a student for doing Masters in Computer Science at North Carolina State University, USA. I would like to thank you for providing me with this opportunity for participating in this AR-Hackathon. My passion is coming up with creative ways to express a message, and innovative ideas that people share on social media. I have a personal interest in Augmented Reality, Artificial intelligence and I like discovering about the concepts of astrophysics as a hobby. Inspiration During this pandemic, we all are stuck between four walls, missing on what lies outside. How about an idea where we could visit some place outside these walls? Well, we might be able to achieve that soon when this pandemic ends. However, how about a place that can lie only in our imagination, with no means to reach there? How about Mars? I really got inspired by two gentlemen, Mr. Mark Zuckerberg for doing everything he has done in recent years for creating AR-AI related applications and secondly, Mr. Elon Musk, the man who is on a mission to colonize Mars by 2050. Personally, I have always had a hobby of learning about Astrophysics. So, when I got mail from Facebook that they are conducting an AR-Based Hackathon, it really inspired me to create something that would actually transfer people into the surroundings of Mars and make Instagram Reels there. So, thus introducing "Of Course I Love Mars" Instagram filter for Instagram Reels. What it does The filter contains following features built in consideration for optimising the same on Instagram Reels: Panoramic 360-Degree World Experience: This filter basically immerses the user into completely new surroundings of Mars planet thus giving its users an amazing out of the world experience. As the user moves, the background in the filter moves accordingly or in other words, it gives user a panoramic 360-degree world experience. Astronaut Helmet: The filter augments the user’s reality by adding an astronaut helmet on the user’s face which moves and responds according to user’s head movement. Animated Drones: If the user taps on the drones present in the scene, the drones change their location thereby creating a user-friendly experience. Dust Particles: The filter contains dust particles throughout the screen to give users World AR immersive exposure. Background Audio: This filter has a background audio associated with it which can be heard whenever user operates the filter. User Voice Modulation: It has an interesting feature where the filter basically modulates the user’s voice if he/she speaks whist recording the video using the filter. How I built it The filter was developed in the Spark AR Studio and its whole idea of build and development for the features mentioned above are as follows: Panoramic 360-Degree World Experience: This feature was accomplished using a 3D sphere which I created by myself using Blender Software Tool. Moreover, I added the image of Mars surroundings as textures in the sphere to create panoramic effect. Astronaut Helmet: I used Face Tracker feature in Spark AR Studio to create this effect. As the name suggests, it basically tracks the face of the user using the filter. Animated Drones: The drone movement was basically done in two parts. The first, where I used animation playback controller to rotate the fan of drones. Second, where I created patches for the same in the patch editor so that as soon as the user taps onto the drones, they change their respective positions. Dust Particles: The dust particles were added into the scene using Particle System in Spark AR Studio. I also edited their birth rate, material, speed and rotation to create the effect. Background Audio: The background audio effect was added using the Audio Playback Controller and Speaker Asset of Spark AR Library. The audio was also imported from the same library. User Voice Modulation: This effect was added using the Patch Editor where I took the input from the user’s microphone and provided it to Distortion patch and then finally sending it to the speaker. Challenges I ran into The challenges I ran into are as follows: Difficulty in Background Picture Quality: This was the major problem I faced since the texture on Spark AR’s Sphere which I used earlier was not giving a proper user experience. Thus, I resolved the same issue by creating my own 3D Sphere inside Blender Software and gave it two textures instead of one to improve quality. Face Tracker Problem: I had a hard time while adjusting the astronaut helmet properly on the user’s face which I resolved eventually by taking help from Spark AR Tutorials. Accomplishments that I'm proud of The accomplishment that I’m most contended about is that I have finally learned how to immerse users into 360-degree panoramic view with face texture segmentation. And it is truly an honour to create a filter which can be used for something as good as Instagram Reels that can truly embark users to new journey and possibilities. What I learned There were a lot of new things that I learnt during the project: Learnt how to immerse users into 360-degree Panoramic experience and using Blender Software. How to do proper adjustment of the face tracker and face mesh. Animating and Moving 3D Objects. Adding Custom Instructions. What's next for Of Course I Love Mars Filter I have thought for developing the same effect filter for more different surroundings like Hilly Regions with Snowfall, Beaches, Deep Water & Sky Diving Experience. I believe that such an effect like “Of Course I love Mars” has endless possibilities if we want to create something new and innovative for Instagram Reels. Thanks a lot for taking time to review my submission!

https://devpost.com/software/chalk-circles
Initial sketches Testing the concept out with a physical prototype The Happiness Here circle The Snack Here circle Chalk Circles Context I've always been a doodler, whether its ink to skin, pencil to paper, or chalk to pavement. Filling up the driveway with chalk murals as a child and then watching them wash a way in the rain was a kind of catharsis that my little brain probably didn't fully understand yet. Now, living in New York City, one of my favorite things to stumble upon is a sidewalk filled with colorful chalk drawings. A common occurrence around parks as well are these little instructional chalk circles. Some are cure, like a "hug" spot, while others are ominous like the large circles that are drawn with "bad luck spot" written in the middle. Functionality Chalk Circles is an AR activation that takes inspiration from those city wide doodles, and creates little prompts for users to utilize and guide their content. Need to get something off of your chest? Set up the "rant here" circle and sit down in the middle and vent. Want to share your latest culinary endeavor? Highlight your fancy sandwich with the "snack here" option! We limited this build to 8 types, to add some constraints (but not too many) and ease choice making. Creation The goal of this activation was to let the users guide how much the effect shines. Simplicity was key, but to create realistic chalk drawings I did the obvious, and drew the circles out by hand! With the help of Photoshop I upped the legibility and create some transparency, and then put it all together in spark. I choose to use a UI picker instead of tap to chance since there are over 5 options, and segmentation is the cherry on top that helps make it really look like that chalk drawing is in your living room when you step over it! Challenges Chalk isn't the most contrast heavy medium, so bringing these into the digital space and testing it on a range of color surfaces made me realize I would need to add some shadowing and tweaks to the drawings, so no matter where they're placed you can still read the messages. It actually took quite a while to touch up and edit the physical drawings. Initially I wanted to create a ground occluder where the floor was still visible but then a 3D "moat" sank down around the user. Without floor segmentation this was a bit too hard to hack sadly. But when I saw some chalk hearts on my walk I realized that 3D wasn't needed to make something cool and realistic. Looking ahead I would love to see how people get creative with these cute circular guides, and I hope that it brightens at least a few peoples days! Even just filming the demos made me smile, before I realized you should mark out where to stand with a physical object, there were a lot of blooper shots of me standing way outside of my designated circles.

Political Art - Public domain Political Art - Public domain Screenshot of app Screenshot. Tap to place 2d picture Screenshot Inspiration In 2020, Covid hit and the exciting Presidential Election had to adapt. Politicians and rallies are becoming more virtual. Candidates can't meet or listen to the people . There must be a great way to use Reels to talk to your politicians or just help bring more excitement about the election to people. What it does The app allows users to select from four different pictures which can be placed using the instagram Augmented Reality filter in their home, outside, or anywhere. The picture can be shrunk down to small size or made larger than life. The photo can be placed on walls or let it bounce on the floor. This will let people be creative by showing a photo of Joe Biden or Trump. Users can talk to them, share their problems, or just complain. Users can also choose a Teddy Roosevelt classic election cartoon or a piece of public domain art around voting. How I built it This app was built by using Spark AR v.95. Photoshop was used to create transparent backgrounds and remove backgrounds from images found in the public domain at the library of congress Challenges I ran into It was difficult finding public domain art. I first contacted CSPAN, but they said not for this media. I learned to use the patch editor in Spark AR. I also learned how to change the motion of objects and a lot more about how Spark AR works. I had some issues with version control as I constantly packaged and resaved the project creating multiple versions with the same name but with a (1) or (2). Please note the photograph version of people was rejected and a new more cartoon/art like version was submitted instead. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I'm proud of the fact that the app works well and that I learned how to change the Patch editor code items. What I learned I learned how to use the Patch editor and improved my photoshop skills. What's next for Election 2020 I am tempted to add more features like particle effects or design virtual art work talking about political matters. I may also create an app that lets you put BLack Lives Matter or other slogan virtually on any street. A useful tool for those living in high rise buildings.

https://devpost.com/software/backdrop-pxa74k
Spark AR Studio showing effect Spark AR Studio showing effect and change background controls Inspiration Traveling to and recording at locations is now a risky proposition. Video meetings with virtual backgrounds have replaced many in-person meetings. I wanted to re-create that experience for social video recordings. What it does Backdrop comes with many built-in virtual 360-degree backgrounds. Tapping the screen brings up controls to change the background and adjust your lighting to more closely match the lighting in the background scene. The controls fade away after a few seconds of non-use so they don't interfere with the recording. Backdrop cuts out your outline from your physical background and replaces the background with the 360-degree virtual image, so that it appears like you're at that location. You can move around and adjust the camera to get the just the right look for your video shoot. Backdrop comes with a wide-variety of virtual backgrounds. How I built it I used Spark AR Studio to create the app. It uses segmentation to extract your image from the rest of the video. Your image is shown on a plane. I created a sphere around the plane, and project the 360-degree virtual background onto the sphere. Initial instructions to use the rear camera and to tap the screen for controls are initially displayed. When the screen is tapped, I initiate an animation to dismiss the instructions and display the on-screen controls for changing the background with a forward and back button, and a slider to adjust the lighting level that is applied to you. The forward and back buttons will cycle through all the available backgrounds and wrap around the sequence. I also created logic to fade out the controls after several seconds of inactivity. All of the logic for Backdrop was created in the patch editor. Challenges I ran into The platform was new to me, so I had a lot to learn. Getting the spherical display of a 360-degree panorama took a lot of work to figure out. Getting familiar with the patch editor to create effects and interactive elements was also a learning process. Accomplishments that I'm proud of The app works exactly like I planned, and I think it will be useful for many people to create interesting videos. What I learned I learned a lot about creating an AR app in Spark AR Studio and getting it ready for deployment. The patch editor took a lot of experimentation to achieve the logic and effects for the app, but I'm getting more comfortable with it. Several elements went through numerous attempts using different methods to get right. What's next for Backdrop I'd like to find a way for people to load their own 360-degree backdrops and save them for future use. Built With sparkar Try it out github.com

Inspiration I've always wanted to blend my love for astronomy with technology in some way and surely this is the main inspiration behind this work. What it does This ExPace AR lets you explore our solar system up close. It also contains a few asteroids. How I built it I built it using spark AR studio on windows. I've created 3D models of planets, sun, rings, and asteroids using Blender and I've also added few bits of Javascript to control their rotations. Challenges I ran into I'd say the main challenge for me was to control their rotations. It took me a while to get it done. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I finally made it to work with each planet having their specific rotations, that's a huge accomplishment for me. Yay! What I learned I'm still quite new to Spark AR studio plus I'm also not very good at blender either so yeah, I learned how you can make amazing stuff with spark AR. Apart from learning, I also got to know some awesome people from the community and got to learn a lot from them. What's next for ExPace AR I started this work with a thought to allow the user to go to different planets and explore then even up closer. Maybe options to go to different solar systems. But I think these are quite far away for me now. My next work would be to allow users to explore individual planets or at least show planet specific information in fun ways.

Snap 3 Snap 2 Snap 1 Inspiration Since time immemorial, being a policeman has been the dream for kids all over the world. This project brings that image into focus. Seeing themselves in a cool police cap and matching black goggles will serve as fun motivation for kids to go pursue their dream, and someday wear the uniform for real. What it does Detects and tracks the face in the camera and places a police cap on the head as well as black goggles on the eyes. How I built it Using Facebook's Spark Studio, I added a face tracker and a face mesh on top. The movements of the face thus get tracked automatically. I then imported 3-D models of police cap and googles, corrected placement, orientation and dimensions so as to fit on the face properly. Challenges I ran into Started from scratch, so had to go through numerous tutorials in order to figure out how to use spark studio. Accomplishments that I'm proud of Could come up with this effect as a beginner in AR development. What I learned How to use facebook's spark studio software, linking with sketchfab AR library to import 3-D models, adding objects and assets to the model. Changing and aligning 3-D models to fit the requirement. What's next for I can be a policeman too! Add custom audio effects to make it more realistic.

https://devpost.com/software/fall-leaves
Fall Leaves Inspiration The inspiration came from the central idea of using a particle system base for the effect. Since this is my first effect I've created, I wanted to keep it simple. With that thought, I figured a theme would be nice, and since fall is coming and we likely won't be outside as much as usual - I chose to bring the fall leaves inside. What it does The effect itself is a few simple particle systems that either: a. are always on.. b. are on but get modified when the mouthOpeness variable is >= .35. c. turn visible when the mouthOpeness variable is >= .35. How I built it The effect heavily leaned on some tutorials, though I did branch off a little bit when I wanted to occlude the leaves to give depth to the scene. I always really wanted to actually use scripting instead of the node-based graph since I am a computer science student. Challenges I ran into For sure the biggest challenges I ran into was encountering the reactive programming paradigm. As I noted about, I am a CS student and have never really dealt with event based programming aside from signal catching in *nix OS. This was frustrating but also fun to dig into. The next challenge I ran into was occlusion. I used the head occuler and midwifed the shape to get the results I wanted but I'm positive there was a better way of accomplishing the occlusion. You live you learn. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I'm most proud of just finishing. Often times I (and many others) start things without completing them. I wanted to see this one through since the subject matter is something I'm very interested in. What I learned I learned about the reactive programing paradigm as well as dipping my feet into sparkAR engine. It was quite easy to learn since I use the Unity3D game engine quite a bit. What's next for Fall Leaves Two things. I would like to get smarter about the leave occlusion and I would like to introduce more of a blowing in the wind type reaction to the particles.

Demo picture Used by Marcell Darwin, Indonesian actor Effect thumbnail Especially in this period, everyone wears masks to protect themselves but we do not see if people are in a good mood. So I thought about how to allow instagram users to show in Story or in their Reels that they are happy. This idea of adding facial features and a smile came right away I am used to conceiving much more complicated effects in terms of mechanics and realization on Spark AR. "Smile" is over the effect that asked me the least thought in its implementation because it is very basic. the challenge here is that the idea came to me while the deformation was still forbidden by instagram. So I was happy to learn that the deformation would be accepted again at the same time as the launch of Reels my accomplishment on this effect is that the filter works very well, the community is very receptive to it. In just 1 week he made more than 300K impressions. Marcell Darwin an Indonesian actor followed by more than a million people on instagram also served the filter several times in the first days I learned that it is not necessarily the most complicated filters to make that will appeal the most to the community. the following is a massive use of my filter in the world I hope!

And I tried to make my effect for the first time in Spark AR until now, I'm still working on developing the best Instagram filter effects in the future. How I built it I built a simple filter effect using Spark AR and could not be separated from that, a lot of support came to me to be able to follow this HackAthon Facebook event like family, close relatives, relatives. Challenges I ran into The challenges I face are the increasing competition for filter effects, many young people who use Instagram, especially in filter effects to style and share their beautiful moments, and increasingly advanced technology makes me have to update on the latest technological developments. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I can make my own filter effects, I can find out about the latest technology world by joining workshops and training What I learned I can make my own filter effects both on Facebook and Instagram well in the hope that I can make my own money from my hard work making these filters. What's next for Mix Color Face The hope in the future for Mix Color Face is that this filter effect can be used comfortably for Facebook and Instagram users so that this filter is suitable for use by the wider community, especially for the younger generation. Built With amdquadcoree2 english sparkarhub Try it out www.instagram.com
Mix Color Face
Mix Color Face is an effect where we can change the color of our face with various colors that support the AR effect. Mix Color Face is same as while we use a mask and our face can be detect properly.

Inspiration During my second semester of the second year, our professor in the course Advanced Programming gave us a three parts project which eventually determined our grade in the course. All three parts involved aircrafts. I knew from an early stage that I want to collaborate with the best airlines in the world and taking advantage of my passion to aviation and travel. For the first part I featured QATAR Airways, the world’s best airline for 2019 and its home hub, the city of Doha. For the second part I collaborated with Cathay Pacific, and used the opportunity to feature the world’s tallest hotel, the RITZ-CARLTON in Hong Kong. Finally, for the third part I featured Emirates and Dubai, and a week after my app published at the Google Play Store, The UAE and ISRAEL, my home country signed a peace treaty! Because the first two parts scored enough points to pass the course, I could do whatever I wanted in the third part, and let my imagination goes wild. What it does For now, you can fly the Emirates A380 right next to you, using a controls system, and even make it bigger, until you reach the size of the actual thing! But I plan to release another mode before I will call it a day. Talking about videos, I tested the flight simulator in Tel Aviv’s beach and it was simply breathtaking. I invite all to download the app for absolutely free, enjoy the world and send me pictures of giants A380 from landmarks across the world! Extra: Following the guidelines of this Hackathon, the Instagram effect I created, allows you to add the Emirates Cabin Crew hat, using face tracking. This feature will later added to the app already available at the Google Play Store. How I built it Using Unity with AR Foundation, and Spark Challenges I ran into So many to list here: Getting a cabin crew hat. Since I begun before the treaty, I had difficulties getting what I need, eventually I bought the hat from Ebay. Designing the UI and working with Android. I am an iPhone user. Adding listeners and getting the desired behavior from the controls. Interacting with the internal storage, to save some settings. Strict space limits. Qualified effects for Instagram must be smaller than 4MB. I realized this limit only after the effect was ready, and I had to make some changes, by adding the texture manually. As a result, the object isn't look as good as I wanted it to be. I am sure though, that my object will only becomes better when I improve my Spark skills. And many, many more. Accomplishments that I'm proud of I finally uploaded an app to the Google Play Store, and people actually downloading it and love it. Also being do persistent and insist working with Emirates and not a different 5 star carrier. What I learned A lot. How to design user interface in mobile apps How to create AR experiences How to interact with devices permissions 4, How to interact with internal storage of mobile devices Improved my Unity skills How to upload apps to the Google Play Store Learned about Spark. Learned about Blender Learned how to publish Instagram effects. And many more! What's next for Flight Simulator Ft. Emirates A new game mode!

Front Camera Back Camera Inspiration I am an avid Playboi Carti fan, I listen to his songs every day and many times fan-made remixes. These remixes often come with cool edited videos that resemble VCR cameras and integrates many of playboi's symbolism into it. The symbols range from cash stacks to smiley faces and are quite popular around teen-culture. Thinking about the targeted audience of the preferred platform for this hackathon, I decided to pay homage to this great artist. What it does The effect has a VCR style overlay and sends particles around the user that can be interacted with by head movements. Also, you can tap the screen to change between a few classic playboi carti's symbols. If the user opens his mouth above a threshold or he reaches 12s recording gravity force is applied and the particles fall. The particles react to sound energy! Making it a good companion for dance videos. How I built it, challenges I ran into, and accomplishments that I'm proud of: For this project, I used many technics to achieve my goal. First I needed to build my own 3D particle system as the esthetic is built around PlayStation 1 style graphics. For that, I grabbed some 3D objects from the AR library and the newly released Render Pass (update came in handy). By nesting nullObjects I was able to send the object render as a texture to the regular 2D particle system, I also added a little bit of rotation, a sum of a transition between values and head rotation, to make the fake3D particles believable. The next step was to add interactivity. Parametrical design is all about controlled random input values, and what's more random than life? Having the effect react to the world around the user was a must. So I made the particles bounce with the sound energy meter, which listens to the microphone and turns the input into a manageable value to be worked with. To finish off I had to make everything blend really well together. The render feed and the camera feed are two sides of the same coin. Making the particles (render) blend in together with the real world (camera) is really hard to do. My main challenges were: dealing with noise from the camera input, the hard edges from the objects, and the depth of field. To solve that I rendered together the camera feed and the particles render, added a soft blur on top of it and sent it through a framebuffer to add some motion blur, that way I got rid of the camera noise and hard edges and also got a slight DoF effect by the particles on the background moving slower than the ones in front. To wrap it up, I added a custom noise overlay with VCR scanlines and a color preset on the whole scene. I am really happy with the result, the particles sometimes can be mistaken with real-world objects and the effect definitely feels like something a Carti fan would create! What I learned Throughout the process, I realized many shortcomings Spark AR still has. My fake3D particle solution lacked something really important to AR: lighting. Since I was passing a rendered image of the 3D objects, all the lighting had to be done to the objects themselves, the particles wouldn't react to the lights as they should because they behaved like 2D planes. The planeTracker is good but has some erratic behaviors while working with particles. Sometimes it would change the focal plane position and bug out the particle's position, making them really big or really small. Damaging the experience. The device motion fed to the program only goes as far as 180 degrees. Which sometimes makes the rotation jump from 180 to -180 breaking the immersion a little bit. Render passes are great, but the performance hit is real! Fortunately, we have the option to reduce the render size. But after, I saw the work done and was mesmerized: The included AR Library is very very rich in content. You can edit whatever you get from there to have it your way and call it a day. Spark AR is the EASIEST, BY FAR, AR software to create on. I was able to achieve this without a single line of code, which is amazing, to say the least. You can have a particle systemception. Having a particle system as a texture for another particle system! What's next for TRAP STYLE WORLD PARTICLES In the future, I want to be able to add more renders from the same object to feed more particle systems. I went for one particle system for each 3D object and only instanced each of them once due to performance reasons. Also, I'd like to have this effect working properly on the planeTracker and with real 3D particles reacting to lights! Adding Instagram Music support will be great! I haven't done it because I couldn't test it with my account. Beauty effects like retouch aren't working with render passes. I'm sure in the future, ill be adding it.
