HALOBOX

Project Goal

HALOBOX was developed to bring the magic of retro physical photobooths directly to modern browsers. The main goal was to deliver high-quality, real-time image capture overlaid with dynamic client templates, instant digital processing filters, and QR-code powered secure downloads.

Engineering Challenges

A major challenge was capturing high-resolution webcam streams on the client side, applying custom SVG vector frames dynamically without distorting ratios, and processing WebGL filters at 60 FPS without introducing browser rendering lag.

Key Technical Achievements

• Built a high-speed HTML5 Canvas context pipeline capturing raw media stream frames.
• Created custom WebGL shaders allowing real-time digital retro filters to render instantly.
• Engineered automated QR-code metadata generators, allowing immediate mobile phone sync and image downloads.
