Still, it is a good advancement - can only get better from here.

Oh yeah. The model doesn't carry the expression being made at all for what my brain is saying the expression should be. I say that knowing I'm only seeing half the face so my brain is making a lot of assumptions based on a lifetime of calibration. I'll assume I'm right but I'm open to being wrong as well. Yeah, unless it's dynamically changing the model without predefined movements based on the current measurements it's not going to exactly match, but some of those results are some creepily non-natural facial expressions unless you're Ace Ventura or in the throes of death. Maybe they need to sprinkle glitter on people's faces for motion capture purposes....

Either way I simply won't be impressed until it can catch my 'are you serious' eyebrow lift.
