LSTS researcher Anastasia Karagianni recently presented a work-in-progress paper at the ACM International Conference on Interactive Media Experiences (IMX) in Stockholm, titled 'Pixels of Perfection and Self-Perception: Deconstructing AR Beauty Filters and Their Challenge to Unbiased Body Image?'
Co-authored with Miriam Doh (University of Mons) and Corina Canali (Weizenbaum Institute for the Networked Society), the article looks at the effects of AR beauty filters on social media, scrutinising their contribution to unrealistic beauty standards and their psychological impact on users.
