Σύμφωνα με πρόσφατη πατέντα της Apple η οποία κατατέθηκε στο United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) , οι μελλοντικές εκδόσεις των Animoji θα μπορούν να αναπαράγουν φωνητικά εφέ και ήχους για το κάθε avatar, ως αποτέλεσμα των εκφράσεων του προσώπου του χρήστη.
Όπως αναφέρεται στην πατέντα με τίτλο “Voice effects based on facial expressions”:
"Embodiments of the present disclosure can provide systems, methods, and computer-readable medium for adjusting audio and/or video information of a video clip based at least in part on facial feature and/or voice feature characteristics extracted from hardware components.
For example, in response to detecting a request to generate an avatar video clip of a virtual avatar, a video signal associated with a face in a field of view of a camera and an audio signal may be captured. Voice feature characteristics and facial feature characteristics may be extracted from the audio signal and the video signal, respectively. In some examples, in response to detecting a request to preview the avatar video clip, an adjusted audio signal may be generated based at least in part on the facial feature characteristics and the voice feature characteristics, and a preview of the video clip of the virtual avatar using the adjusted audio signal may be displayed."
