Xopher's Lab is a workshop where participants can learn useful skills in creating face filters for Instagram and Facebook without having any prior knowledge of Augmented Reality, 3D modeling, scripting, or any experience of any kind - just curiosity.

This 3 day workshop will be provide a step-by-step guide for some filters created by Xopher, using 2D and 3D elements that can be created via Photoshop and blender respectively. Participants will also be guided on how to integrate these into social media for use as well as receive more tips and tricks Xopher learned while creating filters, including how to take it to the next level. The first day will be a very simple filter tutorial. The second day will include adding 2D animation in your face filters. The final day will be a high level 3D effect filter tutorial where blender will be used to integrate your 3D models into your filters.
