Laughing and longing: analyzing age filter videos on TikTok

Our findings describe the broad range of reactions stemming from the use of augmented reality age filters. We find that these filters can help users reminisce and connect across generations. Filters have been shown to affect self-perception and support self-expression and this extends to age and aging.

Abstract

Our findings describe the broad range of reactions stemming from the use of augmented reality age filters. We find that these filters can help users reminisce and connect across generations. Filters have been shown to affect self-perception and support self-expression and this extends to age and aging.
