Helmet Simulator

The first Augmented Reality effect I made for Instagram using Spark AR.

The Helmet Simulator lets you switch types of helmet on your floating head. I made this while learning about how to use face effects and to combine them with assets from the Sketchfab integration.

As soon as I had got the military helmet work the floodgate was already open, and I added the rest. Each helmet also lights th face differently to accentuate the change. The 80s style simulator background was the finishing touch.

Some stats:

  • 39,481 opens
  • 4,978 captures
