Line Players is an AR collective game experience for Instagram Reels based on retro game references and futuristic XR glasses design. It was created in collaboration with Meta Open Arts. The effect interprets the design identity and key visual assets for a Meta international event in Palo Alto, California, in September 2022.

CLIENT:META OPEN ARTS   POSITION:AR DESIGNER  
TOOLS:SPARK AR (FACE, HUMAN AND BODY TRACKING) AND ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR


After the pandemic, as Meta navigated their way back to the office, they faced a transition from mostly digital interactions to working in person, in real life again. To break the ice and engage the Meta community as they returned to work, Meta Open Arts prompted me with a custom set of Spark AR effects.

Prompt
Design a set of Spark AR filters that play with the idea of the care emoji interacting with us.

Profile Automator is a face filter created for Instagram. It works as a test that randomly chooses a profile or queer identity for the user playing with it.  Sniffies is a modern, map-based, meetup app for gay, bi, and curious guys.
