Inspiration

Because of coronavirus the whole world is locked. And we can't go on holidays to other countries. So I decided to create an effect what takes a person from anywhere in the world to the paradise tropics. After all, we all need a vacation sometimes.

What it does

The effect shows a person's thoughts to go on vacation and be on the beach. To give dynamics, emoji are used that change through animation. And, of course, you cannot imagine a vacation without sunglasses, which are added as a 3D object.

How I built it

I made all the textures in Photoshop, glasses in Blender and completely assembled the project in Spark AR

Challenges I ran into

I don't know JavaScript at all. But I thought that will be good to make an effect that anybody can use. So I learned from Spark Ar official web how to work with localization (by the way I found there an old info, so my script didn't work right in the beginning). So I when to YouTube and Google. Spent few days but finally made it work.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Effect supports 7 languages of users devices: English, Russian, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Arabic.

What I learned

I began to understand the principles of scripting. And I studied the Spark AR patches better to build all the logic of the effect.

What's next for Mood

I want to create an effect that will support 40 languages to cover 2/3 of the world's population
