00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.400
This is my real-life emoji keyboard.

2
00:00:03.400 --> 00:00:06.539
14 regular keyboards, all connected to this
one laptop,

3
00:00:06.539 --> 00:00:09.559
more than a thousand individually-placed stickers,

4
00:00:09.559 --> 00:00:12.980
and a bit of special software so that every
single one of these buttons

5
00:00:12.980 --> 00:00:15.200
types a different character.

6
00:00:15.200 --> 00:00:19.080
And every possible emoji is here, at least
as I record this.

7
00:00:19.080 --> 00:00:21.590
If you want smilies: right in front of you.

8
00:00:21.590 --> 00:00:24.210
Animals and plants are over here, along with
food.

9
00:00:24.210 --> 00:00:27.060
Which I guess is kind of the same thing.

10
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:32.410
Transport is over here. Symbols and dingbats
and sports and time, they're all over here.

11
00:00:32.410 --> 00:00:37.390
And over on the right, we have the flags of
all nations, and a few miscellaneous symbols.

12
00:00:37.390 --> 00:00:42.340
So if you want to add a kissing face to your
tweet? That is right here.

13
00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:46.070
Crescent moon in your professional report?
That is just here.

14
00:00:46.070 --> 00:00:50.680
Cartoonish crescent moon in your less professional
report? Not a problem, right next to it.

15
00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:52.449
Black Santa? Got you covered.

16
00:00:52.449 --> 00:00:58.010
Hit the Santa button, and then hit the Modifier
Fitzpatrick Skin Type 6 button just there.

17
00:00:58.010 --> 00:00:59.769
Boom. Black Santa. There you go.

18
00:00:59.769 --> 00:01:04.040
It's got literally every emoji, even the ones
that don't work on any phones or computers yet.

19
00:01:04.550 --> 00:01:08.660
You want a levitating man in a business suit?
This button here.

20
00:01:08.660 --> 00:01:12.890
It doesn't work yet as I record this, but
as soon as you view that tweet on iOS 9.1,

21
00:01:12.890 --> 00:01:13.930
when it comes out?

22
00:01:13.930 --> 00:01:19.110
There will be an emoji of a man, in a business
suit, and he will be levitating.

23
00:01:19.110 --> 00:01:21.820
You want to flip someone the bird? Right here.

24
00:01:21.820 --> 00:01:26.780
You want to flip someone an emoji of an actual
bird? Got half a dozen of them right here.

25
00:01:26.780 --> 00:01:31.220
Penguins, pigeons, a baby chick in its egg
or outside its egg, your choice.

26
00:01:31.220 --> 00:01:32.930
Bikinis, kimonos, and aubergines, obviously.

27
00:01:32.930 --> 00:01:36.320
If you want to make sure your message is over-18s
only? Got it.

28
00:01:36.320 --> 00:01:40.280
You want to ban dropping litter? This keyboard
is for you.

29
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.360
Want to ban dropping litter in Belgium? Soon?
Got you covered.

30
00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:49.250
Never mind all your fancy touchscreens and
popup boxes on your smartphones:

31
00:01:49.250 --> 00:01:59.250
when you want every emoji, at your fingertips,
literally: this is the keyboard for you.

32
00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:00.710
If you want to know how it's built:

33
00:02:00.710 --> 00:02:05.970
there's a much longer video coming later this
week about the art of the bodge and just exactly

34
00:02:05.970 --> 00:02:06.720
how this happened.

35
00:02:06.720 --> 00:02:10.440
But yes. I built an emoji keyboard. It's kind
of ridiculous.

36
00:02:10.440 --> 00:02:12.440
