What if you had a video game that featured an image of you? Video game publisher Epic Games is increasingly focusing on capturing facial expressions. The company behind the success of Fortnite has just bought a company specialising in facial motion capture that could be used to customise characters in video games.
Will playing with an ultra-personalised character that looks and moves like you be the future of the Fortnite video game? That’s what the new acquisition by publisher Epic Games may suggest. The publisher of the successful video game has just acquired the company Hyprsense, which has developed a technology that allows you to transpose your own facial expressions to an avatar simply by using your webcam.
