Facial MOCAP for VR

The developments just keep flowing!

Although I knew this barrier would eventually need to be breached, it’s happening much sooner than I had imagined. I had even given up hope that that such technology was readily available. But now that action was in vain.

Hoa LI, an assistant professor at USC has come up with a way to track facial motion in real time while wearing the HMD. Click this link for the article. By using a camera mounted on a boom in front of the HMD, nose and mouth positions can be tracked in real time. With the addition of sensors in the HMD itself, Eyes and upper facial motion can be tracked as well.

Keep it coming!
