R6:Vegas Facemapping

Was watching a youtube vid of R6' s facemapping tech, and it actually seemed pretty cool. I must admit I thought it was a lame gimmick before, but now I reckon if more games have this for their multiplayer I might even consider getting a Live Vision Cam.

I' ve been eagerly following this tech with anticipation since it was first revealed, and apparently its supposed to be impossible to use anything other then a head. The software makes points all over your face and it recognizes your nose,mouth, eyes etc. and will not map out anything but your head. So we won' t see any " bell end" faces (unless they draw it on their face).

Heh, that' s a relief!

The only problem I can see, is that the tech doesn' t map your hair, so you' ll have to wear a hat!

That and I suppose it' ll map your image onto a generic 3d head, so if you have a fat head, it' ll make you thin! Not a problem for some I guess.
