Face Drummer

• 

  Don't ask me why I made such an odd looking icon :P

Inspiration

I got the inspiration for this when I was watching a video clip of Graham Norton on youtube, where Cara Delevingne and Emilia Clarke have an "eyebrow-off". I thought "Why not trigger the drum beats based on which eyebrow is raised ?" and so, this idea was born.

What it does

Based on your facial gesture, like raising eyebrows, closing left/right eye and opening your mouth, the AR Effect will play a drum sample accordingly.

How I built it

I built it using Spark AR. Building this was extremely easy and straight forward.

What I learned

I learned how to add audio to Spark AR effects.

What's next for Face Drummer

If Spark AR is updated so the left and right eyebrows can be detected individually, then I can add another drum sample to this AR Effect. I'll also add a feature where the drum samples can be changed from Acoustic Drums to Electric Drums when the user taps the screen. And I can add an option later on for various sound effects like reverb, delay etc. on the drums.
