How real can your video games be? An app developed by Unreal Engine has caught the eyes of all iPhone users. We have seen visual effects that change our favorite video game characters' faces--whether to copy famous actors or actresses. But, here's a new technology that may give you a more direct connection with your game. Unreal Engine has put the 'mocap' inside your iPhone. What's mocap?
Let your characters copy your face while in-game
Live Link Face is now available on the Apple store for those people interested in downloading it right away. Here's how it works, though.
Just like a regular app, search the Live Link Face to your Apple Store, download the app, and capture real-time emotions in your face. The app uses Apple's ARKit Framework and the same TrueDepth camera that you use for selfies. This means that the app will be producing high-definition captures that you can easily compare, once you've uploaded the data to the Unreal Engine app.
Is it open to Android?
Now, the Unreal Engine has not yet said whether the Live Link Face would have a spotlight too on Android users. But, there might chances it could be a long shot. At least iPhones have them.
