Overview

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are already playing major roles in the metaverse today, and are only going to expand as creators, innovators and businesses find ways to apply the technology to benefit society. The concept of AR has been around for decades, but it's only recently becoming a mainstream technology with tangible uses, from entertainment to marketing. The incredible rise in popularity of face filters is only one metric of mainstream adoption! Spark AR Studio has been a key driver in placing powerful AR development tools in the hands of creators in the social media generation making face tracking AR filters for both Android and iOS.

As a developer or a creative interested in custom AR, now is the time to level up and make your own AR effects.
