DUBAI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Banuba, a leading provider of augmented reality (AR) solutions, is proud to announce its partnership with Street Art for Mankind (SAM), a non-profit dedicated to making social change through art. As part of this collaboration, Banuba has provided a pack of augmented reality effects for SAM's mobile app, letting users create shareworthy content that spreads awareness about the organization's mission.
With the app called "Behind the Wall" users can locate and explore supported murals, listen to the stories behind each artwork, and take pictures to share on social media. Compatible art pieces have already been placed in many cities including Brussels, London, Paris, Berlin, Houston, Detroit, Seattle and New York City.
Banuba's contribution to the Behind the Wall app includes a range of augmented reality filters that encourage engagement. They include:
- Face masks: Captivating virtual masks, adding an element of creativity and entertainment. One of these effects features the well-known Miraculous Ladybug.
- Touch-up: Enhancing users' appearance by smoothing out imperfections and improving overall image quality.
- Hair recolor: Allowing users to experiment with different hair colors virtually, creating eye-catching looks.
“We are very grateful to Banuba for their support in our mission. Thanks to the quality of their augmented reality technology, we are offering a more artistic level of engagement to our followers within our app Behind The Wall. With our new “Selfie Art” functionality, people can make creative statements with face masks created by street artists, or by adding their favorite Street Art for Mankind murals to their background. Art becomes a meaningful way to act and make an original statement for social or environmental change!” said Street Art for Mankind co-founders Audrey and Thibault Decker.
Banuba remains committed to leveraging its AR expertise to support social causes and make a positive difference.
