Probably ignored by the majority of Apple users, Animojis and their human cousins Memojis have nevertheless found their place in all of the manufacturer’s operating systems. Even on devices that don’t have a TrueDepth camera! Here’s how Apple imagined and created this menagerie.
To animate a conversation in the Messages app or to make colleagues laugh during a FaceTime meeting, who has never turned their face into an emoji ? Now 27 in number, the Animojis appeared in 2017, in the wake of the iPhone X. And for good reason, it was the first smartphone to integrate Face ID and therefore the TrueDepth camera essential for reproducing the movements of the face by emoji.
Over time, you may have lost the habit of using Animojis (or simply forgot they existed). It’s unfair, because they required a lot of work from Apple! We looked at internal documentation that goes back to the creation of these animated characters, a process that was not easy.
Aurelio Guzman, designer in the Human Interface Design team, explains that while the interest in creating puppets from Apple emojis was present immediately, ” at the beginning it is certain that the project to animate them left more than one skeptic “. To dispel doubts and prove that animating an emoji with facial movements was possible (and made sense), we had to develop a prototype based on the woman emoji describing something .
