People projected in the upper left corner of the screen are iPhone X captured faces. What is displayed in the center of the screen is a 3D rendered image of the captured face.


Open your mouth wide ...


It has a subtle look with one eye closed ......


Even if you shake your face to the left or right, you can see that you can capture detailed changes in your face firmly.


Although it will change facial expression afterwards, things rendered 3D trace the facial expressions of the upper left corner of the screen firmly and show the high accuracy of the TrueDepth camera.

Open your mouth ......


I will stretch under my nose.

Apple has released "animation character" which can be used in message application as a function using TrueDepth camera, but after movie using this animation character is released by YouTuber immediately after iPhone X releaseFischer's-Fishers -It has been made public and has become a big topic on SNS such as Twitter.

At the time of article creation, TrueDepth cameras can demonstrate the true value of only the face ID and anime characters, but as developers pay attention to TrueDepth cameras like Hung and Dwyer, animations born by motion capture of faces It may be that many other characters like characters will appear.

In some cases, ""Ani character" which can be used only on iPhone X works even on iPhone 8"Although it was reported that,Apple denies thisdoing.
