Hey HN, I made this app, let me know if you have any questions! It uses a TensorFlow/Keras model to detect the dog's facial features, and a custom AR interface for estimating 3D pose.

Do you have any plans for a social component to the app i.e. following other dogs and sharing “stories”/videos?

Great work! My kid is hooked.

Maybe in the future -- a bigger commitment to create the infrastructure needed for that. For now, just looking to get feedback and reactions : )

Your app is very impressive from a technological point of view.

However, I would like to point out that while there are ~400 million dogs in the world, there are only ~200.000 wolves left. Things are getting out of hand.

Yes, although wolves are making a comeback in some parts of the world, so there's something to be optimistic about!
