Controlling the expressions of virtual characters

In this video Torben Sko demonstrates how to control the facial expressions of a virtual character using a webcam. This demo uses a piece of software called FaceAPI (created by Seeing Machines) that can tracks facial features and uses the data to drive the expression of a virtual character. This work was recently exhibited at the Australian National Portrait Gallery as part of the Youth Self Portrait prize. You can read about Torben's PhD and his other project on his website.
