Types of Filters
Face Animation
Face Animation filters available on TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat are augmented reality effects that allow your brand to transform the user into the desired world. Integrate 2D/3D elements on his face, on his head. Transform his face as you wish.
Virtual try-on
We create your filters and effects that allow you to display your products in augmented reality. We model (structure and texturing) and create the necessary animations for the virality of the filter.
For example, you can target or retarget your customers with this effect. This allows you to create engaging content that will increase your conversion rate.
Immersive Packaging
Enhance your packaging with image recognition. Once the effect is opened on TikTok, Instagram, or Snapchat, the algorithm will detect the packaging image and display animations related to it. These animations serve as additional call-to-action elements to encourage your community to purchase your products.
Augmented Reality Games
Boost the usage of your filters by creating viral animations through augmented reality games. We code within the algorithms of TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat to create games that can be played using head movements, eye blinking, mouth opening, and more.

FAQ
Social network filter agency: What is a filter?
A social media filter is an augmented reality content that allows you to integrate virtual elements into the real world and interact with this content. They are currently the most widely used augmented reality content, as social media platforms have successfully popularized the use of AR effects. Thus, it is a content format similar to a photo or video, but even more engaging and capable of generating user-generated content (UGC).
Currently most of the major social networks use filters, such as from Instagram, Snapchator TikTok. This helps to generate retention on these platforms as well as engagement, as the user will generally apply the filter to themselves.
Social network filter agency: What type of filter can be created on social networks?
It will depend on the social media platform on which we will create the effect. In general, there are four types of effects on social media.

- 3D Product Visualization Filter: This allows you to visualize your product in 3D within its environment before making a purchase. For Instagram and Facebook, this is currently limited to placing elements on the floor (plain tracker). As mentioned earlier, Snapchat will offer more advanced features by integrating foot tracker, hand tracker, or body tracker.
- Immersive Packaging Filter: The algorithms of social media platforms are able to recognize pre-recorded elements within the algorithm to trigger an animation. This can animate a POS display, packaging, or even a business card on social media through a filter.
- Augmented Reality Games Filter: Creating games allows to gamify the user experience on social media. The objective is to interact virtual elements (3D or 2D) with the user's movements to offer fun content.
