Max is known for his experiments with AR on social apps.

The engines used to create filters for Instagram, Snapchat, and TikTok have been maturing.
They now boast features like VPS, world-meshing/LiDAR, custom-trained ML, Physics, GLSL shaders, particles, and much more - all running in real-time on mobile phones.

Through examples of his own work for clients like Alienware, Paramount and Olivia Rodrigo, Max will show the fun of building short-and-sweet AR experiences on these platforms, as well as how these accessible yet powerful tools are democratizing the field of XR.
