Apart from Face ID, there really isn’t too much else that it can be used for other than for fun features like Animojis. So far, the TrueDepth camera system on the iPhone feels more novel than functional.
The app’s tracking leverages Apple’s ARKit and the iPhone’s TrueDepth front-facing camera to interactively track a performer’s face, transmitting this data directly to Unreal Engine via Live Link over a network.” While it might not necessarily be as comprehensive as a “true” motion capture setup, it might still prove to be invaluable for indie developers who are starting out.Īccording to Epic, “Live Link Face streams high-quality facial animation in real time from your iPhone directly onto characters in Unreal Engine. Basically what the app does is that it relies on the iPhone’s front-facing TrueDepth camera system to assist with motion capture. The company has since announced a new app designed for the iPhone called Live Link Face for Unreal Engine.
This means that for small time or indie developers, trying to create a game involving motion capture could be out of their budgets, but Epic wants to change that. If you thought that motion capture would be an expensive process that would require a lot of equipment, for the most part you might be right.
