While I am not into the emoji crap I have to say these videos were very clever and fun. At least a smart use for these emojis.
What have we become? $1145 to play with animated emoji.
Well, the next step will be rigging the tech to work with other user created characters. Adobe has been after this with its animation software and after effects for years now. Apple just released it in a phone like it was no big deal.
I don't understand why so many people ridiculing other people who find the Animoji feature of the iPhone X fun and entertaining. I can't wait to try it when I get mine
It's a rainy Sunday on the east coast. Animojis were invented for weekends like this.

Since Snap has already worked with the TrueDepth API, I'm expecting many cool apps to allow for custom creature creation that tracks accurately to our faces. Near studio quality CG FX without a studio. This is so much bigger than poop Animojis.
It’s so much fun and thanks for Apple so that people can glue to their work to phones like never before.
Apple changes everything, again ! Tim Cook > Steve Jobs ! So amazing ! First the emoji touchbar, now this ! The future is here !
I saw your video & think I gave you a heart!
[doublepost=1509896829][/doublepost]I am almost 61 years old & spent yesterday on twitter enjoying Animoji karaoke. This stuff is just pure fun & lord knows this cancer patient needs all the fun she can get
Heart back at-cha! Good luck with your treatment, I wish you all the best, glad my silly idea gave you a distraction
While these animoji karaoke videos are cute and fun, I really think Tim Cook needs to send an iPhone X to Sir Patrick Stewart to do the Master Class - Quadruple Take with the fox animoji.
Love for your Tag. Off to the Ultimate Paisley tour on 12.8 ! Saw London Exhib last week
You people deserve D. Trump as the guy that represents you.
Possibly. But the essence is that Poo has become a conversational partner by now

Says a person making passive aggressive comments over the internet to strangers. Because someone was enthusiastic about something entertaining, nonetheless. I won’t comment on what you deserve.
Not everything in my life needs to be supremely purposeful and with reason. Some things aren’t that serious.
We need something like Bitmoji, that creates an Animoji of ourselves.. I'm sure there will be an app for that..... Sometime
I think all posts about emoji and animoji belong in the religious/political forum given the anger they seem to generate.
I am thinking of recoding all team messages to my team as the unicorn animoji - to alleviate some of the seriousness of our jobs.
My son is going to love borrowing his mum's phone and sending me these (mort likely poop animoji - he is eight).
Personally anything that brings joy to people is a good thing in these serious times.
This is not why I bought the iPhone X - for me this is a freebie bonus!

Animoji is a joke, not a feature, and has 0% to do with why I have purchased an X.
That said, It is actually kinda fun, and makes the kid inside me laugh, sometimes out loud.
The Geek inside me finds it amazing how well it works, considering that it was not long ago that such animation tech required multiple G5 Towers (or Pentium 4 systems) linked together in an array just to do video animation of faces for some of our favorite computer animated films. Amazing how powerful these handheld devices we cary around all day have become. This goes for devices running both Android and iOS.

There's life indoors too. A time for everything. So don't be such pooper, and keep in mind that when you are outdoors, your chances of stepping on poop are much, much higher!

If people only bought phones for serious stuff, we would all still be using Blackberries.

You've hit the nail on the head.
An animated cat, fox, pig, and rooster singing Bohemian Rhapsody is the epitome of a new social media phenomenon dubbed Animoji Karaoke.
Over the past week, both reviewers and customers lucky enough to have the device in their hands have shared fun, humorous videos of Animoji in action, ranging from goofy voiceovers to full-out music videos.
Animoji, for those unaware, are custom animated characters that use your voice and mirror your facial expressions captured by the iPhone X's new TrueDepth camera system. You can even record yourself as a Pile of Poo.
Creator: Mia Harrison
iPhone X users can create Animoji recordings up to 10 seconds long in the Messages app, but the internet discovered that iOS 11's new screen recording feature allows for much lengthier clips. Enter Animoji Karaoke.
The idea was conceived by technology reporter Harry McCracken, who decided it might be fun to lip-sync a song and have an Animoji character mimic his performance. From there, similar videos have spread on social media.
To create your own Animoji Karaoke, play a song loudly enough for it to be picked up by the iPhone X's microphone while lip-syncing. After messaging the Animoji, tap on it, and tap on the iOS share sheet to save it as a video.
A few people have gone a few steps further by stitching together multiple Animoji clips and editing in some other post-production effects.
Animoji might end up being a gimmicky feature that fades over the coming months, but for now, Apple is certainly benefitting from a wave of free viral marketing. If you see a singing fox in your timeline, now you know why.

I didn't want an iPhone X, but the killjoys make me want to get one so I can unleash Animoji Karaoke based on the songs of Milli Vanilli. There's a bit of irony in there for those old enough to remember the lip sync scandal.
