Google Releases AR Effect Tools for YouTube Stories

Google Releases AR Effect Tools for YouTube Stories

Enterprise & IT Mar 10,2019 0

Google is rolling out support for its advanced Augmented Reality (AR) effect tools for YouTube Stories to allow users to add animated masks, glasses and more such objects to their selfies.

Google says that proper anchoring of the virtual content to the real world is the most difficult challenge.

"To make all this possible, we employ Machine Learning (ML) to infer approximate 3D surface geometry to enable visual effects and ML Pipeline for Selfie AR," Artsiom Ablavatski and Ivan Grishchenko, Research Engineers, Google Artificial Intelligence (AI), wrote in a blog post.

The company says to have worked on improving the accuracy and robustness by refining processes.

"That way we can grow our dataset to increasingly challenging cases, such as grimaces, oblique angle and occlusions. Dataset augmentation techniques also expanded the available ground truth data, developing model resilience to artefacts like camera imperfections or extreme lighting conditions," the post said.

Facebook and Instagram already support AR filters for Stories on their platforms.

In the future Google plans to broaden this technology to more Google products, Ablavatski and Grishchenko noted.

Creators, users and developers can use this new technology immediately by downloading the latest ARCore SDK.

Google is also brining AR features to Maps to allow users to find their way with directions overlaid on top of the real world.
