Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program and a method for rendering virtual modifications to real-world environments depicted in image content. A reference surface is detected in a three-dimensional (3D) space captured within a camera feed produced by a camera of a computing device. An image mask is applied to the reference surface within the 3D space captured within the camera feed. A visual effect is applied to the image mask corresponding to the reference surface in the 3D space. The application of the visual effect to the image mask causes a modified surface to be rendered in presenting the camera feed on a display of the computing device.
