As a response to [Apple's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zoom-avatar) 'Memoji,' the forward-thinking company creates an interactive tech experience that engages users and encourages them to showcase their moves. Dubbed 'Playmoji,' the AR playground allows one to dance alongside an animated Childish Gambino. To make the experience as authentic as possible, Google Pixel tapped the celebrity's choreographer who informed the moves of the computer-generated version. The 'Playmoji' app is briefly debuted in a video that boasts #pixeldanceoff as a distinguishing social media feature. The AR playground version of the American rapper can get down to tunes like 'Redbone,' 'Summertime Magic' and 'This is America.' ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 20% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Interactive AR Playgrounds:** Augmented reality experiences that merge popular culture and immersive technology for entertainment purposes. - **Playful Memoji Alternatives:** Apps that enable users to create animated avatars that showcase dance moves and other interactive activities. - **Celebrity AR Collaborations:** Augmented reality platforms that collaborate with musicians and other celebrities to create interactive experiences for fans. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Entertainment:** The entertainment industry has an incredible opportunity to leverage augmented reality and create interactive, immersive experiences for audiences. - **Mobile Technology:** Mobile technology companies can continue to innovate their AR capabilities and produce user-friendly applications for mass consumption. - **Marketing and Advertising:** Marketing and advertising professionals can use immersive AR experiences to create unique and engaging campaigns for clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AR-Fueled Musical Camera Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minibeats.md) - [Alien-Hunting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taito.md) - [Interactive AR Galleries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/happy-by-design.md) - [Interactive AR Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sendit-app.md) - [Color-Blasting AR Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/can-you-beat-the-box.md) - [AR-Based Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffity.md) - [Interactive Dance Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dance-it.md) - [AR-Powered Cereal Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/general-mills-1.md) - [Humanlike AI Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-pixel-ad.md)
