Ask HN: Is there technical reasoning behind Animoji being exclusive to iPhone X?
1 point by Nuance on Nov 15, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
To what extent, if any, is Animoji dependent on the camera and sensor system specific to iPhone X? Would there be a noticeable quality difference if it was available on other iPhones?



Not really. You can still extract facial features from normal video (Snapchat does it too). Maybe not as exact, but still usable to animate some emojii.. I guess.
