AR Studio is an AR (Augmented Reality) authoring tool announced at F8 2017. The app is used to create effects which can be submitted to the Camera Effects Platform, so they appear in the camera in Facebook for iOS and Android.
I was a founding engineer on the project and later on served as a tech lead. The app itself is written in Swift while the 3D rendering is performed by a custom, cross-platform C++ engine.
