A special little Glover Goodie only for Google Pixel users has been released. A new Playmoji of Donald Glover’s Grammy award-winning Alter Ego, Childish Gambino, can now dance his way into your pics and videos.
Childish Gambino Playmoji
Google’s Playground gives you the power to create and play through your Pixel camera using augmented reality.
You can bring your photos and videos to life by adding interactive characters called Playmoji to what’s around you, and now there’s a new Playmoji inspired by recording artist Childish Gambino (aka Donald Glover). Add him to your photos or videos by simply pointing your camera and dropping him into the scene. Over 55,000+ installs already and the reviews are great.
Childish Gambino Playmoji
Google worked closely with Childish Gambino and his music video choreographer, Sherrie Silver,to make sure the Playmoji’s dance moves rival those of Childish Gambino himself.
By using ARCore’s motion tracking, light estimation, and ability to understand the real world, his Playmoji looks and feels lifelike, whether he’s in front of you or in a selfie next to you. He even reacts to your facial expressions in real time thanks to machine learning—try smiling or frowning in selfie mode and see how he responds.
The Childish Gambino Playmoji pack features unique moves that map to three different songs: “Redbone,” “Summertime Magic,” and “This is America.” Pixel users can start playing with them today using the camera on their Pixel, Pixel XL, Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL.
