Description

Meet the very first slow-motion effect on Instagram! A long time ago all this stuff has started as funny dog masks, but now it became an industry of immersive & demanded AR effects for millions of users: from ordinary people to pro content makers.



Spark AR engine is very young and has only basic features. That’s why it’s so exciting to deeply research! Pushing the boundaries, finding hacks, and creating unique effects. The engine has no video speed adjustment features, so I had to code the frame buffer controller from scratch.



Sadly some devices (mostly old androids) are not performant enough to control a video in real-time. But users with modern phones can enjoy this new effect and shoot unusual stories and reels right now.



You can start slow motion on tap or timer, and also switch it from black&white to color.

How to Use it

If you are using Catchar from the laptop or desktop, you have to click on the "UNLOCK THIS AR LENS" button. Then, a QR code will open and you can scan it by pointing your smartphone at the screen. Note that the newest OS phone versions allow scanning QR codes with the default camera. Once you scan it, the Instagram app will open the unlocked AR effect. You need to have the Instagram app installed.
