What it does
It turns you into a meme by utilizing the iPhone’s camera and face recognition API.
How we built it
We used the Swift 2 language using the Xcode IDE along with the AVFoundation framework.
Challenges we ran into

Accomplishments that we're proud of
The debugging process itself yielded many accomplishments. As two of three in the team are new hackers, just fixing the logical errors we had in the app felt very rewarding. As we were unfamiliar with the AVFoundation framework, navigating through obscure documentation was an adventure in itself.
What we learned
That people can in fact, be the memes they dream to be. Also, we learned much more about using Swift frameworks and phone functionalities.
What's next for Meme Dreams
A golden age for the memelennials. Our team believes that a community submitted database of the latest memes could possibly be a huge breakthrough for the future of humanity.
