Create Your Own Selfie Filters for Instagram

Ever wondered how the fun selfie filters on Instagram are created? It’s easier than you think!

Create your own custom effects with Spark AR Studio, a free AR tool. With this platform, you can incorporate images and 3D models, animation, interaction, and more into filters without knowing how to code. During this hands-on workshop, participants will learn the basics of creating effects and how to publish them to Instagram. We’ll also provide some custom UR assets, so you can spread that Meliora spirit!

Join Studio X, UR’s hub for immersive technologies, and learn more about the digital world of extended reality (XR). All levels welcome. No experience necessary!

Note: Attendees will need a Facebook account and to download Spark AR studio (Mac and PC) as well as the Spark AR app (iOS and Android) for testing ahead of time. Need assistance with this process? Ask for help on the Studio X Discord (Quick Questions Channel).
