What Is AR Emoji?

Samsung AR Emoji is an all-in-one app consisting of AR Emoji Studio, Editor, Camera and Stickers and part of AR Zone app along with Deco Pic and AR Doodle.

It is an augmented reality app on the Samsung mobile side where the users create their animated emoji just like themselves for free to use that companion as static or live stickers to share with their friends in messaging apps or apply the emoji over their face like wearing a real mask to capture pictures or videos and share them on social media accounts. 

It is integrated into the camera app which detects and tracks the facial expressions and body movements of the Samsung members to enable the emoji to mirror.

Customizing the existing avatars' style from hairstyles to clothes is also possible as long as it does not infringe any personal rights of third parties. 

AR Emoji Studio 

AR Emoji Studio is a combination of all AR Emoji apps because it has shortcuts to reach AR Emoji Stickers and AR Emoji Camera and provides additional AR Emoji Studio exclusive features at the same time such as creating a call screen or lock screen video using emojis. 

All stickers and emojis created with AR Emoji Studio are synced with Samsung Cloud as long as the option is enabled from the Settings in the app and they do not exceed the maximum file size.

AR Emoji Camera

Have you ever wished to use your own animated character to share profile pictures on your social media accounts or somewhere else instead of using your own pictures?  Well, with the AR Emoji Camera, that wish is about to come true. 

AR Emoji Camera app constantly updates and syncs every existing and new emoji in AR Emoji Studio and demonstrates them as separate face filters that can be directly applicable to your face. 

In addition to that, it detects your facial expressions and replicates the same actions, so if you wink, it also winks. 

Other than the emojis created on your own or downloaded, the app offers the Samsung Kids or AR Zone cartoon characters as a face filter option as well.

AR Emoji Camera Modes

It offers four different modes which are Scene, Mask, Mirror and Play which do not care about whether the front or rear camera is opened; only the first three require a face in the camera. 

Scene: A Real-Time Camera Transformation

It replaces you with the AR emoji. However, it does not mimic body movements, only facial expressions in the Scene. 

It removes the background and replaces it with a solid colour or a picture/screenshot selected from the Gallery or colour picker which pretty much makes it the only difference in comparison with 'Mask'.

Mask: Emoji Over Your Face

It places the emoji over your face like wearing a mask. By wearing a mask, we do not talk about a digital trick. Thanks to augmented reality technology, it detects and tracks every single facial expression to mimic the same expressions. 

As with Scene, the body movements are neither detected nor mirrored, only the facial expressions are. 

Mirror: Emoji Mimic Your Moves

Mirror, as the name suggests, might be defined as a module where your emoji becomes your virtual twin, not just in appearance but also in body movements. 

Emoji companion mirrors your movement, whether it is a wave, a dance move or a friendly nod. In other words, as you wave, jump or simply move your arms in front of the rear or front camera, the emoji follows suit. 

Play: Bringing Emoji to Your World

Regular scene and mask modules of the AR Emoji are not enough for you and looking for something more real and playful? Then, it is time to step your emoji into the real world with 'Play' mode. 

After a simple calibration process of your surroundings, 'Play' mode allows you to turn your emoji into a dynamic character. It becomes no longer confined to a static image and simple facial expressions; interacts with the environment around you whether you are in your living room, a park or any place. 

After the quick setup, the emoji is teleported to your world. The blinking arrow on the screen demonstrates the exact location where your emoji is beamed up. 

Pinch in (bring your fingers closer) the emoji to make it larger and pinch out (move your fingers apart) to make it smaller. 

Tap the emoji and drag it somewhere else in the augmented reality to teleport it to a particular place in your space. 

To let your companion show its dance moves, gently tap on it or draw a path for it to follow and dance simultaneously. 

Capture Pictures or Videos with AR Emoji

Once the mask or emoji is applied to your face and you are satisfied with the final result, tap the "Capture" button (white circle) to take a picture or tap and hold the same button to record the video.

Instead of this and you have a built-in S Pen or S Pen Pro, press the S Pen button once to take a picture and press and hold the same button to record a video. If nothing happens when you press the S Pen button, check the Air Actions menu: Settings > Advanced Features > S Pen > Air Actions > App Actions > AR Emoji.

Alternatively, press the Volume Down or Up button to take a picture or press and hold the same button to record a video. 

Without a need for a physical button, just say "Smile", "Capture", "Shoot", or "Smile" to take a picture and say "Record Video" to record a video.

However, for the last two options, you should enable settings by following the instructions below:

1. Open the AR Zone app.
1. If the AR Zone app is not available on your home or apps screen, open it through Camera > More > AR Zone.
2. Select "AR Emoji Camera".
3. Tap Settings from the top left.
4. Toggle on "Use Volume Key as Shutter" to take a picture or record a video with volume buttons.
5. Plus, toggle on "Voice Commands" to do the same actions with voice commands such as "Cheese" and "Record Video".

AR Emoji Stickers

Not satisfied with the motionless stickers created by others? Why don't you take your stickers to the next level with AR Emoji Stickers? 

AR Emoji Stickers generates and turns every emoji created in AR Emoji Studio into static or live stickers. The app consists of ready-made sticker collections and additional expressions that can be downloadable directly from the app. Furthermore, it is possible to edit the existing stickers by applying background, decorations, actions and expressions or even create a new one from scratch. 

It does not stop there. AR stickers might be saved to the Gallery or any external storage on your Samsung device, set as an image clock for Always on Display (AOD), set as the profile picture of your Samsung account, sent to your friends or loved ones through the Messages app or shared with Quick Share or Private Share. 

Edit AR Emoji Stickers
