The facial tracking capability enabled by iPhone has proven its accuracy and performance with its entertainingly impressive Animojis. Due to the built-in TrueDepth Camera, iPhone's face tracking is highly accurate under most lighting conditions, providing a solid facial motion capture data source.

LIVE FACE is designed to stream the iPhone's facial tracking data to desktop clients. After launching LIVE FACE, users can connect desktop clients either through iPhone hotspots, or computers sharing the same Wi-Fi source. Just type in the IP address in the client site to enable the data feed.

LIVE FACE now supports CTA and iClone for 2D and 3D animation and custom character design. After setting up the IP connection, users can animate cartoon characters’ facial features in real-time including; eyeballs, eye brows, mouth shapes, and head rotation. Besides generating real-time live shows, users can also record the animated data for further editing.

In CTA and iClone, the signal level of the facial features (Eyes, Brows, Eyelids, Mouth, Head) can be further augmented or diminished via strength sliders. Allowing users to fine-tune the expression of a character during final recording.
