Abstract: Live face animation for virtual studios [DE]
Lara Jacobs, Live face animation for virtual studios, Hochschule Düsseldorf, Bachelor thesis, 12.07.2023.
Live facial animations for the virtual studio are an integral part of media
technology. The work shows the potential of Meta Quest Pro as a facial tracking
system for real-time animations in the virtual studio. The implementation of the
developed application is not optimal. Nevertheless, the insights gained here show
that the Meta Quest Pro is an alternative to classical facial tracking systems.
Above all, the possi- bility of producing with a system that has imperceptible
latency, offers more detailed tracking than the established Live Link Face App
and also enables increased actor feedback through AR makes Meta Quest Pro
interesting for all groups of people who use facial tracking. Also, the paper
gives an overview of the developments Facial Capture has undergone and the current
state of the art. Sensor technology, tracking concepts and animation methods for
the face are considered.
