MAGIC UNICORN
From self expression to gaming and customer service Magic Unicorn provides superior, optimizable, and scalable 3D avatar technologies powered by deep learning and advanced computer graphics algorithms.
Built using the proprietary data set of over 20,000 3D face scans collected by Magic Unicorn over 3 years.
Avatar can be automatically created by taking a single selfie.

  • All processing is done by a host device.
  • No server load, no privacy concerns.
It takes less than a second on a dated low-budget mobile device to fit a face shape, skin color, hairstyle, eyebrows, eyelashes, beard, mustache, and many more elements.

No need for tiresome manual setup.
Everything is customizable though. There is an extensive library of facial features and accessories. Each of them is perfectly fitted to any face shape by the special algorithm.
