Snap Lenses: Push-Up & Pull-Up Challenges

Push-Up & Pull-Up Challenges

After working on the Random Image Generator Snap Lenses, I wanted to tackle something more challenging. In late March 2020, there was a trend that took place on Instagram where poeple would record themselves doing push ups, post the video on their Instagram Story, and challenge others to do the same - just like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

When I saw that Snapchat could do body tracking, I was inspired to create a AR version of this challenge. I started out with the Pull-Up Challenge - mainly because it is much easier to perform body tracking when the user is facing the camera - and then reversed the logic soon after to create the Push-Up Challenge. How many can Push-Ups or Pull-Ups can you do?
