Inspiration

  • The theme for this hackathon inspired me a lot. Really loved the theme. I started to think out of the box to create something which is fun to build as well as fun to play with when the end product is ready.
  • Also, I wanted to build a hack dedicated to my audience of Joker Fans :) This hackathon gave me that opportunity.

What it does

  • This is a responsive face filter built which tracks the face and reacts to different facial gestures. ## How we built it
  • This project is built using the Spark AR framework provided by Facebook.

Challenges we ran into

  • Time crunch :( Literally writing this at the last moment, 5 mins prior to submission.
  • I wanted to polish the end result a bit more and add more features to the project but ran out of time.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • I am proud, astonished, and amazed with the end result. It's really amazing what Augmented Reality is capable of doing.

What we learned

  • I learned a lot in the span of these 48 hours. What an adrenaline rush it was!
  • I researched and learned about Augmented Reality and how to implement it.
  • I learned a bit of texture crafting, object/model creation, and some photoshopping.
  • I also learned about visual scripting which is a really cool way to build a project using blocks of interactive code without writing much of the code. It saved me a lot of time.

What's next for J0K3r-C1U8

  • Add interactive changeable virtual backgrounds for the subject.
  • Add more interactive features which rely on face/head/eye tracking and facial gestures.
  • Add a voice changer.
  • Add support for green screen/chromakey
  • Publish the effect on the Facebook/Instagram AR hub to make it globally available to everyone.
