Fun Gesture Based Augmented interactions

In video meetings it’s a hassle to unmute just to say one word especially if someone else is speaking. Here, Cameron Hunter created a video lens that uses hand gestures to show comic-book style messages instead.

Cameron built the lens using SnapLensStudio, which he states was incredibly easy. Their five built-in hand gestures allowed him to support hello, yes, no, question, awesome, and goodbye. Their smile detection allowed him to show laughter. Highly recommended checking it out: lensstudio.snapchat.com

To use a lens with Hangouts, Zoom, #Slack, etc. you install TheSnapCamera, which creates a virtual webcam. Select a lens that you want to apply and you’re good to go!

To add the Gestures lens, just search for Gestures by Cameron Hunter.
