QR selfie filter for parties
Print a QR to vikmil.com/tekdetek. Guests land in swipeable event selfie looks — ASCII, reaction-diffusion, cellular automata — and shoot. No app store. That is the QR selfie filter / party QR camera filter path.
TekDetek is not completely free. Guests can open, swipe, and edit for free. A guest record is watermarked and 20 seconds unless the host has Pro on that browser. Pro is clean, unlimited export for event deliverables.
Free
Open the app. Swipe and edit looks — phone reaction-diffusion and cellular automata included. Luma detection. Hand. Watermarked MP4 or PNG up to 20 seconds. Watermarked OBS up to 5 minutes (restart anytime).
Pro
Clean export — no watermark. Record and OBS as long as you want. Full preset library, Shuffle, Depth, Alt ASCII. Add RD, CA, PreText, GEO 3D, and Sonify on the desktop graph. Higher detection caps. Buy Pro on Gumroad.
Night-out path
Phone mode hides the node graph. Default path: open → swipe → record. EDIT is there if someone wants knobs.
Event checklist
Test camera permission on iOS Safari before doors. Provide Wi‑Fi or a hotspot. Bright QR signage beats reading a URL out loud. Deploy notes: QR party funnel.
