STREAMLABS:  FACEMASKS

COMPANY: Streamlabs
POSITION: 3D Designer

PROJECT: AR Facemasks for Livestreamers

As part of the Streamlabs team, I contributed to the development of an augmented-reality feature for live streaming channels where viewers could apply 3D masks to the face of a live streamer – midstream with real time face-tracking.  This tool facilitated interaction and engagement between streamer and audience, and increased streamer revenue. In addition to being compatible with the company’s proprietary OBS software, the system was also picked up by Twitch and could be enabled via Twitch extension.
