Spark AR-filter creation

I used software to create a black and white filter with line animation. After users click on the screen, they will switch to different line animation.

It's not easy to learn a new software. In class, I just had a basic experience of its recognition function, and at that time I had already aroused my passion to learn this software and make my own exclusive filter. Fortunately, the Spark AR has tutorial on their website. I learned facial tracking on the website of Spark AR. But I don't want to just put some patterns on my face. I want to add a filter with color effect and maybe some animation. These tutorials are also available on the Spark AR website, but I always fail to follow the tutorial. Maybe the video would be a better way to learn so I searched on YouTube for the video of the black and white filter tutorial and follow it step by step. I also learned how to insert animation effects and click on screen to change patterns on YouTube. The video tutorial is easier for me to master. After learning these features separately, I spent some time studying how to combine them to present the filter effect I wanted. I tried many times to make the filter I wanted. At the moment when the filter was successfully made, I was full of satisfaction and happiness.

There are many different filters on instagram, which are very popular. People use different effects and filters to make their videos and photos more beautiful or interesting. I use filters a lot myself. But each filter always has some places that I am not very satisfied with, and it is difficult to find the one that I am most satisfied with among the gallery. Spark AR can be used to make special effects and use it on Facebook and INS. I always watched other bloggers share their own filters, but now, I have an opportunity to create my own filters

Spark AR by calculating the position and angle of the camera image and analyzing the image, the virtual world on the screen can combine and interact with the real world scen. When making the filter effect, adding a face tracking function, it will recognize user's face through the device camera, and finally display the effect on the device screen, besides, the virtual objects appear fixed in space. There are some filters that users can trigger different effects by touching the screen, blinking, opening the mouth or other actions. Designers can directly insert images to form special effects, but they can't insert GIF files directly. Therefore, for animation effects, it is necessary to insert every frame of animation pictures.
