●This app recognizes the pose of the hand captured by the AR camera and emits a flashy force lightning ray from the finger. ●Apple's human body image recognition technology is used to recognize hand pose images. ●By changing the pose of the hand, you can freely control the direction and on / off of the light beam in real time. In Star Wars, Sith's Dark Sidious and Count Dooku were fighting the Jedi Knights with this Force Lightning as a weapon. The rays of light emitted from the fingers in the camera are amazing just by looking at them. You can enjoy this Force Lightning effect on the AR screen that is displayed in real time. You can also save the powerful image in a video or photo or share it on SNS. You can even select a photo stored in your camera roll and save it to a video or photo.
