Never Have I Ever (Hackathon Edition)

never have I ever title card

Inspiration

Because of quarantine, we're spending a lot of time on social media and playing around with filters. We became curious as to how these filters were made and decided to take a crack at it ourselves!

What it does

Our project lets users play Never Have I Ever! It randomly picks a Never Have I Ever... question and the user has to answer that they have done it or that they haven't done it by tilting their head right or left respectively.

How we built it

We built our filter using Facebook's Spark AR.

Challenges we ran into

No one on the team had experience with Spark AR before so it was a bit of a learning curve learning it in 24 hours. The biggest challenge was with learning what patches there were and how to creatively use them to do what we wanted to do. Spark AR is relatively new so there was less community support. We had to figure it out as we go.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We love how we were able to integrate the interactive left/right head tilt to our filter.

What we learned

We learned that we could learn a lot in 24 hours! Considering that no one on the team has used Spark AR before, we're really proud of the final product. All it takes is effort and motivation and a supportive team to create something amazing in such a short period of time. We have worked together as a team before so having the initial chemistry helped a lot in understanding the collaboration and work-style of each other.
