big
Original size 1082x96

Kamoji is a Japanese emoticon system that is not limited to the use of symbols. The variation of combinations and the inclusion of body language in the emoticon allows caomogi to transmit not only basic states but also emotional nuances: intonation, mimics, gestures.

Mirror

Using a webcam on the page, the user receives caomogies that match his mood. Computer vision reads the mime in real time, defining the spectrum of emotional state (positive, negative, active, passive). Based on the analysis, the site’s algorithm generates complex caomogies. Based on unique descriptions of emotions in different languages, the Mistral language model offers names and descriptions of caomoji.

Wall

A caomoji wall where every user can leave his or her caomogies with emotion and a value that will remain for other users.

Map

A genetic map of emotions. The Kaomoji are moving around in search of a caomogi with a similar emotional spectrum. When they find each other, the emotions come together, forming new complex emotions.

Labyrinth

The page invites the user to choose his emotional state and to see through the game mechanics the possibility of going out and switching.

Symbols

The user is moving through the fractal forest of the caomoji. As he approaches the tree, he can recognize the roots of his key symbol. Emoticon signs can be drawn from different writing systems, service glyphs, mathematical operators, so as you walk through the woods, you can learn what kind of connotations are filled with caomogies.

Original size 800x450

A page with stories in the style ASCII-images about the linguistic features of symbols in caomoji. The user needs a word to know what caomogi is behind him and how important he is.
