The Japanese telecom company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nttdocomo.co.jp\/english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NTT DoCoMo<\/a> designed this app for Valentine&#8217;s Day 2017. The AR app creates patterns based on vibrations in your voice, resulting in unique digital visualizations. All 3D visualizations are unique, so there is only one chocolate in the world that is designed for your loved one.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>How does Voice Chocolate work?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>You enter a short message via the app. The vibrations and pitch of your voice are then used to create the design. The design is mapped using 3D technology and turned into a piece of chocolate.
