A fast-turnaround social AR filter for Finland's Eurovision moment
Käärijä · green bolero social AR
Warner Music Finland asked flyAR to create a body-tracked social AR version of Käärijä's iconic green bolero outfit shortly before the Eurovision 2023 final. We built the effect for TikTok and Snapchat so fans could join the Cha Cha Cha moment themselves.

We focused the effect on the bolero, where body tracking could carry the idea immediately. TikTok and Snapchat were used because they supported the needed tracking flow at the time.
