Inspiration

I was inspired to create this project from my passion for both technology and animation. I wanted to combine these interests and create a one-of-a-kind experience for Snapchat users. The thought of opening a door to an animated world through AR technology sparked my imagination, and I was driven to bring this concept to reality. I hope this filter not only brings joy but also demonstrates the vast potential of AR technology

What it does

This project allows me to showcase my creativity and technical skills by merging the world of animation and AR technology. It gives me a sense of accomplishment and pride to bring this unique experience to Snapchat users. Additionally, it provides an opportunity for me to explore the possibilities of AR and expand my knowledge in this field.

How we built it

I built this project by utilizing the AR technology and combining it with my passion for animation. I used World Mesh to construct the AR door and Blender for 3D modeling. My creativity played a big role in bringing this project to life, from conceptualizing the idea to bringing the animated world of Tokyo to life. I also put in a lot of effort to ensure the final product was visually stunning and provided a seamless and immersive experience for users.

Challenges we ran into

There were several challenges I faced while building this project, including:

Integration of AR technology: Ensuring that the AR door functioned seamlessly and that the transition into the animated world was smooth.

3D modeling: Creating a visually stunning and accurate representation of the animated world of Tokyo required a lot of time and effort with Blender.

Performance optimization: Making sure that the filter ran smoothly on a wide range of devices was a challenge, and required careful attention to detail.

Despite these challenges, I was determined to bring my vision to life and was able to overcome them through hard work, perseverance, and a lot of trial and error.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud to have successfully built a unique and interactive AR experience for Snapchat users. This project allowed me to showcase my creativity and technical skills, and I am thrilled with the final product. The integration of AR technology and animation is something I am particularly proud of, and I am grateful for the opportunity to bring this idea to life. Seeing people use and enjoy my filter is a great feeling, and I am proud to have made a contribution to the Snapchat platform.

What we learned

I learned a lot from this project, including:

AR technology: I gained a deeper understanding of AR technology and its capabilities, as well as the challenges that come with its implementation.

3D modeling: I improved my skills in Blender and learned new techniques for creating 3D models.

Problem-solving: I encountered several obstacles while building this project, and I learned how to overcome challenges through perseverance and creative thinking.

Project management: I honed my project management skills, from ideation to completion, and learned how to prioritize tasks and stay organized.

Overall, this project was a great learning experience for me, and I am grateful for the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally
