HTC brings Vive Facial Tracker

HTC has released the Vive Facial Tracker. This follows 38 facial movements across the lips, jaw, teeth, tongue, chin and cheeks, and is said to provide an accurate real-time representation in VR of almost the entire lower face.

"The dual camera solution with 60 Hz tracking rate, a latency of only 10 ms and IR illuminator provides accurate, responsive and powerful tracking even in the most challenging lighting conditions. The Vive Facial Tracker easily attaches to the Vive Pro HMD for quick and easy setup," the manufacturer claims.

"With the new Vive Facial Tracker, it's easier than ever to create extremely realistic characters," says Graham Wheeler, General Manager of HTC EMEA. By combining Vive Facial Tracker, Vive Tracker and Vive Pro Eye HTC promises the most realistic, accurate and accessible head-to-toe tracking solution for VR. The Vive Facial Tracker is compatible with the Vive Pro series VR headsets.
