HomeView faces include Snoopy, photos and interactive illustrations

Apple’s HomeView includes customizable faces for photos, animations and smart home controls.

The faces Apple has named so far include:

• Photos
• To flow
• Snoopy
• Calendar
• Weather report
• Modular House
• Home camera

Other clock and widget layouts appear in Apple’s promotional images, but have not yet been named. Apple says the selected faces change throughout the day, with different appearances in the morning and evening.

The ‌Photos‌ side turns the HomeView into a digital photo frame, displaying a single image or rotating through a collection. It uses Portrait-style depth effects to keep the subject sharp while blurring the foreground and background. Shared albums also allow friends and family to share photos remotely.

For an animated display, the Flow face responds to physical presence and movement, changing its colors and light as people move nearby. The Snoopy face features animations that reflect the time of day, weather, sporting events and holidays.

Other faces provide direct access to smart home information. Home Modular provides quick access to favorite accessories, while Home Camera can live stream up to nine camera feeds simultaneously.

HomeView’s interface adapts to the user’s distance, presenting simpler information that can be read from across the room and more detail the closer they get. Its 7-inch Liquid Retina display also automatically adjusts brightness, ranging from 500 nits to 0.3 nits for nighttime use.

The HomeView tabletop and wall-mounted models launch on November 13 and cost $299 in the United States.
