Thanks to the 100-point facial recognition of the Samsung Galaxy S9, the Korean brand was able to transfer the animojis of the Iphone X to its own terminal. Some fun animations that turned our face into unique emoticons to express different emotions and that have been updated to add festive filters, as happened during the last celebration of the World Cup in Russia, even special emojis celebrating the premiere of a popular movie.
Modify the AR Emoji to match you
And updates the matter continues. Now, Samsung renews its AR Emoji so that they look even more like the user who decides to create them. Now, once we take a selfie to create a new emoticon with our face, if the result has not been to our liking, we can modify the different elements of the face afterwards. If you have not been very clear what this is all about, watch the video that Samsung has made about it.
Once we have taken the selfie and, as if it were one of the many applications that populate the Play Store, we can gradually modify the skin tone, the size of the face, nose, eyes and mouth, cheeks, neck width, type of hairstyle… everything you can think of, in relation to the face, to adapt as much as possible this virtual doll to your image and likeness.
Using this new AR Emoji feature is very simple. Once you take the photo , the different elements to change will appear, with a guide to increase and decrease in size as well as different colored balloons for the eyes, hair, eyebrows and skin tone. An update that wants to silence those critics of the AR Emojis, who alluded to the fact that the final result was somewhat far from resembling the original model.
The new update of the AR Emojis function in the Samsung Galaxy S9 also improves facial recognition by 65%. This means that the 'facial tracking' that the application boasts will be able to identify the movement of the eyes and mouth of the model much better. It also offers an increased frame rate to make AR Emoji movements more natural, smooth, and fluid.
How to create your own AR Emoji on Samsung
You can make your AR Emoji through the selfie camera of your Samsung Galaxy S9 and Samsung Galaxy S9 +. Once downloaded, we open it with the front camera and choose, among all its shooting modes, 'AR Emoji'. When you press the shutter, select your gender and focus with your face, its 100 reference points will create a mold of your face, unique and distinguishable from the rest, with which you can have your own emoticons.
Once created, you can also use your AR Emoji in a conversation on social networks or messaging applications. To do this, on the Samsung keyboard itself, you must choose the Emoji icon, choose an emoji from the AR Emoji stickers and the emoticon will be automatically inserted into the conversation.
So now you know, if you usually use Samsung's AR Emoji, you're in luck. This new update will soon be available in all terminals on the European continent. You will have to be patient!
