Impressive Markerless Facial Motion Capture

Great for gamers online - they could see their opponents' facial expression as they shoot him/her! Man, this is great.
 
Just a matter of time before we can use an actors face without the actual actor in movies.

This is way better than the tech they used in avatar. In that they had to have blue dots on their face. This looks much easier to use.

You mean that's not a normal thing to do!?

Anywho, I wonder how expensive this will be. It'd be sick if it was on the cheaper side of like a thousand, rather than 20 thousand or something.
 
this will make facial expressions and much easier to recreate realistically in games and movies without all of those stupid tinny ping pong marker balls.:D
 
That'll only work for him, if someone else put on that headgear it would very likely need to be calibrated, taking alot of efforts, asking you to place your head this and that way, open your mouth, taking hours or days to calibrate.
I'd like to see it used by several different people, without calibration, then I'm impressed.

But it's a start and it IS awesome :)
 
It's great... and the latency was impressive... I just wish they would've had him talk in a normal conversation, not reading from a script... and maybe it's just me, but the ending bit looked like he was having too much fun, if ya know what I mean o_0
