Playful and Interactive

Celebrating Emojis in Their Time, Google Developed an Experience Based on Artificial Intelligence called "The Treasure Search Emoji" : A free and fun game that brings you closer to the power of AI in a playful way.

The game is very simple and the idea is to find emojis in real life. The browser will show you an emoji, for example, and you will have to actually search for it and scan it with your mobile phone. Once the object recognized through artificial intelligence that works behind the scenes, you will be able to access the next stage of the game. You only have 20 seconds to find the object and you win the game if you find ten emojis in real life.

The game, developed by Tensorflow .js, is built with machine learning technology that uses the camera of your phone and a neural network to try and guess what you show. He also opened the source code to build the game on GitHub.
