The pendulum between iconographic and photorealistic will swing back and forth for eternity.

Would love to see a Google Trends-type dashboard based on Google's "Gboard Federated Analytics" data.

I don't think the data at https://www.emojitracker.com/ is as valid or as frequently updated.

Can we please just make emoji bigger onscreen? They're not even em-height most of the time. Most interfaces don't scale the emojis when scaling the text.

There's so much artistry and time & effort put into these, and they end up feeling l ike a yellow smudge behind a crack on a dim screen in my life.

oh, are they going to adjust the eggplant emoji to match modern usage? And perhaps the peach emoji as well?

If so, I hope they never go from 3D to 4D.

>In the early days, we were literal

People using smiling and laughing emoji were not literally smiling and laughing no more than the people writing LOL.

>We’re handing over raw .OBJ files to the community so they can use them to build immersive VR worlds, indie apps or weird memes.

Where?

No, the point was that we were literal when choosing which emoji to use.

That's not what the article is saying from my reading of it. It thinks "rolling on the floor laughing" is a new exaggerated phenomenon despite ROFL being used the same way for decades.

IMHO it’s still just that: early emoji use was literal and later use got more [nail polish emoji].

Not sure why ROFL is relevant, a typical emoji user is likely unfamiliar with internet slang.

Wasn’t google the one who made flat design popular after we had full 3D and glass aesthetics? Now they want to pretend they “invented” 3D shades emojis again..
