I just realized what this would be great for: Avatars in VR games. Snap a photo or video of your face and have it put straight into your character complete with animations. Excellent.



Check out an iPhone app called AffdexMe. It turns a photo into an animated 3d avatar in a few seconds.

I work in AR/VR and we are evaluating whether the iphone can be used for decent facial capture.


Isn’t the answer already yes? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i51CizUXd7A

But we all know what this'll be used for.
