Abstract: A system and method for enabling augmented reality effects in a web browser without requiring installation of additional software is disclosed. A web server provides a website with a gallery of selectable special effects. Upon selecting an effect, the website loads a page specific to that effect which includes a live preview showing the effect applied to a video feed from the user's webcam. This allows the user to view themselves with the effect applied in real-time. The website requests access to the webcam and microphone through the browser's built-in permission system. Captured photos and videos with the effect applied can be saved locally or shared through native operating system tools. The system provides an engaging augmented reality experience accessible directly via a standard web browser, without needing to install a dedicated app.
