Face Portal iPhone App

I spent my end-of-year holiday break diving deeply into iOS app development.

If you’re brand new to the iOS development ecosystem, as I was, then I highly recommend Dr. Angela Yu’s iOS & Swift - The Complete iOS App Development Bootcamp course. Its pace and depth were perfect for my needs.

For my first app, I revisited my previous Boundless Video experiment and decided to reinvent it with an interactive selfie mode. I was also inspired after seeing the success of TikTok’s Time Warp video filter. After navigating the nuances of Xcode development with Stack Overflow and Reddit by my side, I managed to launch an app!

Face Portal is a free video app that uses slit-scan technology to create a 3D expansion effect based on a customizable on-screen portal window. You can also adjust the speed of the effect with the slider.

Try changing the magic portal in real-time to create a wacky 3D expansion effect that you can share with your friends!
