Fanatic Filters uses facial tracking technology that follows the fan's face in real-time and handles obstructions gracefully. When a fan's face becomes temporarily blocked, for example, if they wave their hand in front of their face, turn away momentarily, or put their hands over their face while dancing‚ the filter will animate off their face rather than disappearing abruptly. This creates an effect that looks like they're 'wiping off' the filter, which turns what could be a technical glitch into an entertaining visual moment. When their face becomes visible again, the filter smoothly reapplies. Normal movement like dancing or swaying works well with facial tracking. However, for activations where fans are likely to move very energetically or frequently cover their faces (like a Kids Cam or dance cam), CUE recommends using environmental effects instead of face-tracking filters. Environmental effects like falling confetti, background animations, or themed overlays remain unaffected regardless of how much fans move their arms or bodies. This gives you the flexibility to match the filter style to the type of activation you're running, and camera operators can even encourage fans to interact with their filters for added entertainment value.
