Facetracking for your toon

[Tonkra]

Sorry maybe a little offtopic. But its kinda funny

Is that the future for MMorpg character emotes?^^

Facetracking Everquest

No it really is not. Not everyone has a webcam, not many would ever want to turn a system like that on, and it would require you to receive a hell of a lot more data about every ones current face twitches.

Also *smack* We don't use the T word here!

well but i think its a fun idea, when playing with friends through Teamspeak and seeing the correct facial emotions to the voice well it will work (traffic wise), otherwise SOE wouldnt going to implement this.

personally i would switch that off too in most times buts a funny thing which i just wanted to show^^
and i imagine a group of toons leveling in an instance, you are talking via TS and seeing very realistic facial animations on them while talking. thats a cool thing^

[Doho]

that's actually kind of cool lol

I don't think I'd ever want to be bothered to turn my camera around and zoom in on you just to see what your expression was when you said something.

It's funny technology but not practical at all.

And please don't say toon ever.

That's pretty awesome. I'm personally looking forward to the day when we can have our bodies and faces super imposed on out avatars.

Oh god you said toon =.=°


Ehm yes, nice and funny little feature but considering FFXIV's graphics looks so beautifully natural it would be horrible to see those motion-reading movements which are interrupted and broken and stuff like that.
I remember how horrible characters look which are controlled by Kinect, in this video you could already see how the face of the character makes the same awkward movements, interrupted and unnatural.

I'd never turn my webcam on for this either, partially because FFXIV causes enough strain on my PC and connection already and also because I don't want everyone to see what kind of face I make while doing something o_O
