iPhone X Animoji demo.

The TrueDepth camera system, embedded in the front notch of the iPhone X, isn’t used just for Face ID usage. The revolutionary facial mapping system also powers the Animoji feature, which comes as another exclusive characteristic of the iPhone ‘Ten’. As the name suggest, Animojis are animated emojis that come to life to reflect your facial expressions in real-time!

This means that you can speak, sing or shout while performing hilarious grimaces and the chosen character will mimic and record your voice. More, all these charades can be shared via social media or sent to an iOS contact with the help of the iMessage system. Animoji clips can be recorded on the iPhone X only, but they can be played on any iPhone or iPad that’s running iOS 11 or any later version.
