Instagram AR Target Tracking

With this feature, creators can build AR experiences that are contextually tied to static images such as logos, signs, and pictures, on any flat surface in the real world.

To use the feature, point your Instagram camera at the target image, the effect will be triggered and appear as a digital overlay in the camera.

Native Slider

Native Slider is an optional controller that can aid users with more personalization and control.

The slider can be selected directly in the Instagram Camera and lets users make fine adjustments to different effect details to objections, animations, augmentations and more.

Templates

Creators can use pre-designed projects and effects such as face masks, background segmentation, color filters ad more to find starting points for their ideas and tailor them to build custom AR Experiences.

Today’s update of Spark AR Studio will support actions for placing objects on people or positioning them in the world, as well as Actions that help add simple object animations.
