Star Citizen Webcam Face Tracking! (FOIP)

Omg this is more than i ever expected from face tracking. I suggested it could be used for full body but this is awesome. CAP2 tracks head movement. Elite Dangerous needs one like these two.

"It looks like I have a stroke, so is it in the game, or is it IRL?" : LOL.

Okay, that looks really impressive! Although we can't really use it with a VR headset on xD. Well, we could get the jaw, so it may be worth a try.

Tha's fun but I'm not really impressed, my daughter can do that with her smartphone for years, swapping her face with a cat or an alien. Saying that I can see the potential in games. It will take sometimes to get that on our VR Headset as eyes tracking and microphone is not enough for facial expressions like this.

Howcome you guys linked this to VR/Rift? Am i missing something? I thought they said Star Citizen wouldn't be VR compatible?

I'm sure it will be VR compatible when it eventually releases in 2037 because by that time EVERYONE on the planet will own a VR headset lol 😮 😛 😄

Yes VR was in the Kickstarter Plan. If not available upon release then that's another massive compen!
This does still compliment VR due to:-
* Your face is not on a video and uses a character avatar instead obviously
* The cam can still track mouth movements for talking but could be done by vowel sounds as in VIETCONG
* The cam tracks head movements as used by CAP2 (Harrier Jump Jet Game in development) but does not need a webcam for that

Who would not want that in say Elite?

This is awesome haha..
Say what you want about Star citizen development, they do create some cool tech nonetheless.

After seeing this thread I did some research on Star Citizen and VR yesterday and it seems they will be implementing VR eventually so that's a good sign.

And another good sign is they said they created a floating UI system in the game so that the UI will specifically work for VR, so they're already designed features in the game specifically for VR compatibility in the future which is aweosme.
