  Everyone is Bowie Now

• 

  The first approach using a 3d model

Inspiration

The photos showing the history of Abbey Road Studio 2 and the future of virtual fame

What it does

It allows everybody to become the Bowie persona Aladdin Sane

How I built it

I built it using Spark AR Studio first by bringing in a 3d model of Bowie, and then pursuing an alternative approach of mapping the face tracker geometry with different textures to produce a Bowie likeness. The textures were developed in Photoshop with the help of the supplied templates.

Challenges I ran into

the file limitation size of 3d, looking for an alternative to achieve a similar effect so they could look like Bowie, learning a new platform/programming tool in limited time and understanding its logic. correcting the distortion of the material files to fit the tracking model

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

seeing how everybody was enthusiastic to become Bowie.

What I learned

How Spark AR works and its future potential

What's next for Everyone is Bowie Now!

To develop further with more movement triggering samples. And like the music chameleon himself to be able to change to different Bowie personas at the swipe of a hand.
