Spark AR Studio v2, publicly announced at F8 2019, is a cross-platform rewrite of the original macOS app. The new software is written entirely in C++ and uses Qt for the UI. The software is used to create all AR effects across the suite of mobile applications created by Facebook, including Instagram, Facebook and Messenger.
As the tech lead for the Spark AR Tooling team, I was responsible for the technical execution of the rewrite.
