Face Filters for Instagram and Snapchat Are the New Frontier of Surrealist Art: Augmented reality masks for the masses

Jessica Herrington

Research output: Contribution to specialist publication › General Article

Abstract

AR “face filters” — a mask-like augmented reality that adds virtual objects to an individual’s face—have become wildly popular on Instagram, Snapchat, and even video calling on FaceTime. But little attention so far has been given to face filters as AR art. Often seen as play, AR face filters can provide an engaging and personal art experience.
