Method for triggering events in a video

A system, comprising:

• one or more processors of a mobile computing device;
• and
• a non-transitory processor-readable storage medium storing processor executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a first object within frames of a video;
• determining that the first object performs a first gesture;
• based on determining that the first object performs the first gesture, selecting a first virtual animal of a plurality of virtual animals as a visualization;
• adding the visualization comprising the first virtual animal as a new object into the frames of the video;
• determining that the first object performs a second gesture after the visualizationcomprising the first virtual animal has been added into the frames of the video;
• based on determining that the first object performs the second gesture, selecting a second virtual animal of the plurality of virtual animals as the visualization;
• and
• changing the visualization comprising the first virtual animal to the visualization comprising the second virtual animal responsive to determining that the first object performs the second gesture after the visualization comprising the first virtual animal has been added into the frames of the video.
