iPhone X was equipped with a unique front camera - thanks to this, gadget users can play with Animoji.
At the presentation of iPhone X, Apple Vice President of Software Craig Federighi remarked: “If you have been tormented by the question of how humanity will use the most powerful system face recognition, then we can give an answer ”- and turned his face on the screen into an animated muzzle.
The audience was delighted with the show hosted by Federighi. Despite the pessimism of some experts who claimed that Animoji on the iPhone is “another child’s play”, Apple fans accepted the new feature with a bang. In this article, we will explain what fashionable Animoji is and how to use it.
What is Animoji?
Animoji are animated emoticons that completely repeat the facial expressions of the user's face. Thanks to Animoji, users are no longer limited to the banal set of emoticons that software developers have enough imagination for. It is easy to make the little animal on the screen make a completely unusual physiognomy.
Animated emoji recording was made possible by the TrueDepth front camera technology found on the iPhone X. The technology is also used by the face recognition system Face ID - and this is precisely its main purpose. When creating Animoji, the TrueDepth camera scans the user's face and generates a kind of map that takes into account more than 50 muscles. Next, the map is superimposed on one of the 3D emoji templates.
At the beginning of 2018, there were only 12 templates, but there is no doubt that over time there will be much more of them.
Animoji can be sent to another phone in one of 3 formats:
- Static iMessage sticker (iOS devices only).
- Photography.
- Video up to 10 seconds long.
In the latter case, the audio is also recorded. During the animation, the cartoon will speak in the user's voice.
At what smartphones are axiodi available?
De Yura Creating animezhi is possible exclusively on the iPhone X - at least until Apple has shown more modern smartphones. It is believed that only the model X is a fairly technological front camera to cope with copying expressions of user individuals.
However, the I Love Ice Cream developer team did not agree with this and released the MRRMRR application, free and affordable to download to any "apple" device (starting from iPhone 5S) from iOS 11. In essence, the program is an analogue of Snapchat, but only with the function of creating animated emods.
Users in reviews noted that between the MrrMrr application and the built-in iPhone X there is a big difference. Firstly, in a third-party program to choose from two less than animery. Second, smartphones, which involve a simple frontal chamber to read the expression of the face, cannot track the facial expressions just as accurately and respond to its change as quickly as flagship Apple.
View animezhi will be able to see any "apple" smartphone, the version of the OS version above 11.0.
Creating and viewing Animoji on apparatus with Android is not possible. Despite the fact that in the Google Play, the mass of applications offering to write animezhi, as on the iPhone X, they all either do not work properly, or do not start at all.

Conclusion
The opinions of experts on the animery are extremely ambiguous. For everyone who urges to look at Animoji as a stupid, meaningless and infantile innovation, accounts for at least one, which adheres to the opposite point of view and considers that the appearance of "animations" capable of copying the facial character of a person is a revolutionary step towards absolute freedom of self-expression.

Whatever arguments were given by experts, there is no doubt that animery compared to conventional emoticons is greatly diverse communication, turning a banal correspondence in a truly "live" chat. The new owner of the iPhone X should be prepared for the next weekend it will spend, having fun with 3D-Emodi - regardless of what age he is.
