Are AR filters on Instagram accurate?

Although AR (Augmented reality) is an advanced technology and, on many occasions, it has proven to be crazy accurate, the results should always be received with a grain of salt.

Whichever the case is, use these filters for fun, and don’t get disappointed by the results.
