Abstract
To provide masks for augmented reality (AR) effects in real-time, the embodiments described herein capture a plurality of images of an environment that includes one or more real-world objects after initiating an AR session with an AR device located in the environment. Upon detecting a trigger to generate an AR effect targeting a first real-world object of the one or more real-world objects, a first virtual representation of the first real-world object is generated, based on the plurality of images of the environment, and a second virtual representation of a second real-world object of the one or more real-world objects is generated based on the plurality of images of the environment, wherein the second real-world object is at least partially occluded by the first real-world object.
