Consistent Calibration - One area of real-time motion capture often overlooked is consistency in calibration from day-to-day with the same actors. In addition, Faceware Live tracks 22 more facial points than version 1.0, significantly increasing the quality of the facial motion capture. Improved Facial Tracking - Faceware Live captures nearly 180 degrees of motion, allowing the live talent to be freer in their performances. Performers will make a single “neutral” expression and with one button click, they are “found” by the tracking technology and their performance can be captured. 
There is no need for a lengthy range of motions or a complex character setup process.
Instant Calibration - With Faceware Live 2.0, calibration of any new performer takes only 1-3 seconds. Under the hood is patented computer vision technology, called Live Driver, from partner company Image Metrics, which is capable of real-time facial tracking in nearly any lighting condition with any performer. Faceware Live can use either an onboard computer video or webcam, the Faceware Pro HD Headcam System, or any other video capture device, to drive the real-time performance. “We’ve rolled much of that feedback into the product, and are now ready to release Faceware Live 2.0 to any studio or content creator in need of real-time facial animation.”įaceware Live produces facial animation in real time by automatically tracking a performer’s face and instantly applying that performance to a facial model. “For the past 12 months, we’ve been vetting Faceware Live in a handful of studios, collecting feedback that has been invaluable in the evolution of the product,” said Peter Busch, Vice President of Business Development at Faceware Technologies. Demos of the upgraded solution will be available in the Faceware Technologies booth #653 at SIGGRAPH 2014, Aug 12-14. Originally announced at SIGGRAPH 2013, the first version of Faceware Live has been in testing at a handful of studios since last Fall.
