List of Branded Effect Triggers
The following is a list of Branded Effect triggers.
Considerations for Branded Effect Triggers
Perform triggers 0.3m-1.5m from the camera.
For facial triggers, we recommend performing triggers 0.3m-0.5m from the camera.
We do not recommend placing triggers directly in front of the face.
Gesture-based triggers may be unstable when the hands move quickly.
Gesture-based triggers require a clear difference between the user's body and background.
People should perform gestures directly in front of the camera.
The accuracy and stability of the trigger will depend on the user's distance from the camera, environmental light, and the performance of the user's device.
All single-hand triggers listed require users to use one hand to show the gesture. Performing the trigger with two hands might not work.
The trigger condition and demo listed for facial triggers #13-#19 are for reference only. While testing these facial triggers, we found that most users could trigger them using the provided expressions, but some found other expressions that worked. Additionally, we found that these expression-based triggers were only successful 55% of the time.

About hand-tracking vs. hand triggers
Hand-tracking: When certain elements are set as hand-tracking, it means that whenever users show their hands on the screen, and the camera detects the hand, these elements will follow the movement of the users' hands, no matter what hand gestures are shown. At this time, two-hand tracking is not stable.
Hand trigger: If certain elements are set to appear by a specific hand gesture, it means these elements will only appear after a user correctly performs the hand gesture.
