It's LIVE! Congrats, @danielsinger and team. Curious to hear your thoughts on the future of digital communication, broadly speaking. Animojis and now Memojis are hitting iPhones. I'm curious if this shifts more of our communication to become more avatar based.

Congrats on shipping @danielsinger!

I have become a Panda Creator™

Thanks @nickabouzeid for hunting this!!! Hello Product Hunt 🐼 We’re SO excited to finally share Panda with all of you today! For over a year, we’ve been working on a powerful voice controlled camera that brings your conversations and ideas to life. With Panda, we wanted to develop an entirely new visual tool where you can both create and communicate with your voice. Many products document what happens in the world around us, but they ignore the beautiful worlds that exist in our imaginations. Panda makes those ideas real using augmented reality and the power of voice. Want to become a dinosaur? Just say “Dinosaur.” It’s as simple as that! We can’t wait to hear your feedback and to see what you create! Thank you so much -Daniel

Love what the teams been able to pull off. What seems simple has been super technically difficult to build.

Pros:

super fun to use!

Cons:

addicting

Congrats @Danielsinger and team! What's something you learned that surprised you while building out Panda?

YAY! 🤟

It’s here. The hotness. Panda AF. The Belle of the 2018 Social Ball. Not only driven by a team of young geniuses (don’t take that bit lightly, I mean it) but a team of creative, inspiring innovators that have been ahead of the curve since before you saw that curve coming. No riding waves, Panda is making big splashes. I’m excited to see where this space develops and I’m eager to follow this team’s journey as they continue to build groundbreaking technologies that change how we communicate. 🐼 🏆

Fun and innovative product from a stellar team! Daniel and crew are executing on insights on this space few other teams have. Kudos! 🐼

How did you go about getting your first users?

Finally getting around to writing my PH comment on this; first, great hunt @nickabouzeid! Second, awesome build here from the Panda team -- @danielsinger, @Gabriel__Lewis, @Brotractor, & @TheMarcAMartin 🤗 It's been exciting to see Panda evolve mostly from the outside through @Nivo0o0's tweets, and though the AR/VR area is a bit outside my realm of expertise, this is certainly something I'd be interested to see grow. Inasmuch as I view these types of releases from the tech consumer perspective, the art historian in me has similarly been considering what the growth of AR/VR can mean for new forms of art and expression. Perhaps the most exciting thing in this context is to consider that with the proliferation of social media and smartphones, apps and techs like this will provide the next evolution of performance and experiential art, wherein we are actually *a part* of the art, instead of just viewing it in a passive way from the outside. From an art history and contemporary perspective, this has massive potential for a community that is often further removed from the tech conversation, and thus why I'm so intrigued by it. Really excited to see where this leads us in the coming months -- great job guys!

Exciting day for the Panda Team 🐼today 🎉 Congrats on launching 👏 I had the chance to try Panda and was impressed by the product, and the vision behind it. A voice-controlled camera is something that changes the way we communicate because you are able to trigger things in real time, improving our way of communication for the future 👏 Something I appreciate is the gamification, which is really well-done 👍It may be only me but I was more excited to have a new effect in Panda than a trophy in Snapchat 🙂 I am on Level 5 🏆😄

This seems like an interesting iteration on top of what Apple are providing with Memojis and FaceTime. The biggest threat here is that Apple develop similar functionality into FaceTime itself with dynamic filters based on words said. This is cool and congrats on the launch, just intrigued if there's anything else on top here that sets Panda apart.

Whoa, is that Bri in the app screenshots? Also, hi @sarstanc, small world!

I've been demoing Panda since last October. So excited to see it out in the wild. Congrats to @DanielSinger and the Panda Team

Can’t get past the first screen - freezes before I can give access to camera or mic 🙃

Thanks for hunting us @nickabouzeid! Looking forward to your Panda videos. Will be answering all your questions all day.

Congratulations @DanielSinger and team! I believe Panda is one of the apps that will fundamentally change communications, hand in hand with Memojis and Animojis. It's really going from 0 to 1. I think Panda is an amazing tool to create engaging content. Look forward to seeing IG stories made with Panda everyday!
