Egg

Although it seems that the fever for virtual masks has subsided, there are still those who want to join this party. We are referring to LINE, the company behind the messaging application of the same name, which has launched its own application in the purest MSQRD style , also imitating the lenses of Snapchat, but with a slightly more advanced development. And it is that he has had more time to create a more lively selection full of effects.Of course, all these skins arrive through an independent application called Egg

In it the user comes across agood collection of virtual masksto place on her face. The idea, as in MSQRD, is to create all kinds of photos and videos that can later flood social networks. The tone of the video doesn't matter, because the collection is wide enough to cover from the cutest or cheesiest content, even for Scare and terrify with bloody masks Egg Arrives late but arrives very complete.

Just start the application for the photo camera to activate and display the user's face on the screen. We must not forget that Egg is focused on selfies, although it is always possible to photograph friends with the button that allows you to toggle between the front and rear cameras of the terminal. On this same screen the masks are already presented through a simple carousel through which the user can navigate comfortably.

Of course, unlike what happens in MSQRD, Egg does not have in-app skins. To avoid taking up too much space, you need to download them individually. In this way, the application only shows a representation of the mask, you must click on it to start the download and be able to use it.

Once the skin is available, the arrow icon that accompanies it disappears, allowing to be selected to view the effect on screen The user just has to focus on the oval marked on the screen so that Egg will automatically take over to detect the features and place the mask in a realistic way and as close as possible to the user.

The difference between Egg with the rest of the virtual mask applications seen so far is that, in this case, they are full of effects Thus, all of them have some predesigned animation that is activated when performing a specific gesture. A wink or a smile causes something to move or cause some effect on the picture.

The good thing is that Egg has the possibility of taking photos or videos of the user to share later on their social networks. But you don't need to do it on the spot, you can also select a photo of another user or a past selfie stored in the gallery to decorate it with a skin. In addition, the application has a section of effects that allow it to be linked to any skin, thus multiplying the possibilities of this tool.

In short, a virtual mask application that arrives a bit late, but with more possibilities and options for effects and animation.The good thing is that Egg is available on both Android and iOS for free Just download it through Google Play Store and App Store
