These are the exclusive Snapchat skins for the iPhone X
Table of contents:
One of the standout features of the iPhone X is the technology behind Face ID, the new unlock method that works exclusively on the company's 10th anniversary iPhone. But Face ID is not only used to unlock the terminal, thanks to 3D face detection, it has other utilities such as animojis, animated emojis through our expressions. Apple already announced that this camera (also called TrueDeph) would have more use. Now new skins for Snapchat are coming exclusively to iPhone X.
The new Snapchat skins are Augmented Reality, and make use of TrueDeph camera technology (the same used for Face ID). These will appear regularly in the skins gallery. The interesting thing is that capture our faces and work through our expressions Something similar to Apple's animojis. In this way, the masks look much more realistic and adapted to the contour of our face. But... How does it manage to detect our face? The TrueDeph camera of the iPhone X shoots more than 3,000 infrared points that detect the depth of our face, the contour of the nose, forehead, chin, eyes... Therefore, Snapchat uses this function and applies it with its masks.
Will users return to Snapchat because of this news?
At the moment, we don't know if the stories app will continue to add new exclusive skins for the iPhone X. We'll see if with this, the app manages to generate new users, or just stays in an interesting novelty. Fortunately, the news of the skins makes us aware that third-party applications and services can use the technology of the Apple iPhone camera. Perhaps Instagram will follow suit, or even Apple will incorporate them into its own camera application.
