Emojify yourself for the world!
Over the last 1.5 years since the pandemic began, we have seen an immense inclusion of social media in the running of our daily lives. A major reason for this is that as our lives became more and more restricted to the four walls of our homes, it became difficult for most people to find safe spaces to be themselves and social media provided so many voiceless people with the means and stage to express their thoughts and opinions.
So when I came across this hackathon, I felt that building a product that helps people keep a check on their emotional state and express it better on their preferred platforms would be a really fun idea. And that is exactly what I did!
Social Mojifier emojifies your selfie based on your predominant emotion and allows you to save and share it on your social media handles with the rest of the world! It's a fun little app to share how you're feeling with whoever you would like to out there in a really cool way.
The technologies that I used to build this app are:
- Xamarin.Forms: to build a cross-platform app using C# (.NET) and XAML
- Azure Cognitive Services Face API: to analyse the emotions on the face of the user
- Skia: to add the emoji mapped to the predominant emotion on the user's face in their selfie
