Alien Romulus
Space scene with MediaPipe facehugger filter · 2024 · Experiments, WebGL
A cinematic space scene built in homage to Alien: Romulus — a facehugger floating in deep space under starlight, lens flares and shallow depth of field that feel ripped from a film still.
Beyond the atmosphere, the experience uses MediaPipe face tracking so you can turn on a live facehugger filter: the creature locks onto your face through the camera, wrapping the tribute in an interactive layer that goes past a static render.
Part visual set piece, part AR experiment — a playful nod to the franchise that still shows off real-time tracking and lighting craft in the browser.
