Another interesting Pixelfed R&D program is our vision reality or VR which is building filters for the Pixelfed and Loops cameras, applying Snapchat like filters in real time, using face tracking and everything

It's really cool, and I'm working out a plan to share these in ActivityPub so you can have a library of AR filters.

There are so many aspects of a platform like Loops and Pixelfed like this you may not be aware of, so it may look like I'm not working, but I really am, on stuff like this

@dansup Let me assure you. Even from afar... It does not look like you are not working. Even quite the opposite i would say.

Make sure to take brakes!

Thanks for sharing! ❤️

I can't understand the appeal of distorted mirror effects or stamping with metallic hearts. Those are for the very young users you expect to join a TikTok alternative?

Some more subtle effects might be of wider interest? Historical fashions, wood or stone textures to skin, eyewear?

I would advise against filters. I will leave Pixelfed and Loops if they are added.

@MichaelBishop You can already upload videos of AR filtered content to mastodon, pixelfed and other platforms, what is the diff?

@dansup True but having filters built in only makes filter manipulated content more common.

@MichaelBishop every camera already has these though, even the stock android and iOS cameras allow you to adjust them. Should we ban ICC profiles too?

@dansup Federated libraries of filters would be 🔥

I've done some work on AR filters for the Web and I'm gonna release a demo in a couple of months. I'll keep you posted :D
