Why just send emojis when you can be one?
Emoji from Facetune
Memoji was created by Lightricks, the same developer behind the popular portrait editing app Facetune. It was actually released for April Fool’s, with Nir Pochter, chief marketing officer of Lightricks, saying the following in a statement: “While the world is busy applying AI to silly ventures like autonomous vehicles and data analysis, we’re taking it to where the need is greatest – making us more sophisticated emotional beings — emojis.” But as it turned out, more than just a short-lived prank, Memoji could be actually used in creating emoji-based meme-tastic pics, reaction GIFs, and perhaps even viral videos.
Emojify yourself.
Become an emoji.
What is it about?
If you think that Memoji simply lets you use an emoji like a sticker over your face and leaves it at that, think again. With Memoji, your face turns into an emoji — that is, it’s animated à la Snapchat’s face filters, in comical imitation of the expression associated with your chosen emoji.
Why we love it
It’s just a shame that Memoji has such a small selection of emojis to transform into, which is to say that the app’s future updates should be focused on adding more. It would also be nice to be able to remove the promotional Memoji badge that appears at the bottom of the transformation GIFs, videos, and images when they’re shared. Nevertheless, Memoji is a neat app that does what it says and does it well. It uses artificial intelligence with advanced facial recognition and image processing technologies to work its magic. This means that it can be used to “emojify” any photo that has a human face, whether it’s a picture of someone else (such as your significant other or your favorite celebrity) or an image of a famous artwork (like the “Mona Lisa” or the Statue of Liberty). In any case, the steps for Memoji’s face-to-emoji transformation remain simple and straightforward.
