Newsbrief: Image Metrics has released the software development kit for Live Driver, its new facial analysis and animation tech designed to capture movements, expressions, and emotions in real-time with a standard webcam.
Live Driver is designed to be incorporated in a wide range of applications, allowing for personalization in social media, gaming, and online communication platforms. It supports computer webcams, as well as cameras on phones and tablets.
The facial animation company says that with just a consumer-grade video camera, Live Driver can translate a user's expressions and emotions onto the faces of virtual 3D characters, such as in online games or user-created videos.
