The iPhone X's new feature where it approximated you facial expressions on a 3D character using the facial recognition sensors blew my mind as well.
It was a party trick. I can't remember the last time I touched it. That's what SORA is, or was.
- asnyder 7mo agoI know the developer who worked on it took pride in the outcome. Hopefully they added some additional characters to keep it fresh.
- platevoltage 7mo agoTo be fair, it was really cool. It was also a tech demo with no real practical application.
- tikotus 7mo agoIt was really cool, unlike my phone after doing it for 5 minutes! There were social games that used it as a feature, and it was fun when it worked, but it had to be disabled soon as it drained the battery so fast.
- aDivineDragones 7mo agoWhile Apple use of the tracking was not more than a party trick, the foundational technology they created for this is currently the best low budget tracking solution and heavily used in VTubing (online streamers that use an Avatar with live facial tracking instead of showing their face via webcam)
- platevoltage 7mo agoYou are very correct. The tech is super cool, and this is a practical use for it. This is still very niche.
- cpt_sobel 7mo agoAre these the Memojis or whatever Apple calls them these days? Pretty much eveyry iOS update mentions them near the top of the list and I still have no idea where to find / create / care about them...
- sethops1 7mo agoIt's like when Apple announces hundreds of new emoji every update. Like great, those will look real nice next to the six emoji I ever actually use.
- platevoltage 7mo agoHaha I made like 5 of them when they first came out. I'm over it.
