This week, Sony Online Entertainment unveiled their latest development called SEOmote. It allows gamers to replicate their real facial expressions while gaming online. Sony is currently testing the new facial expression technology with EverQuest 2. The video below features a demonstration of it being used. Players are able to replicate their facial expressions in real-life and transpose it as their avatar. It sounds and looks very interesting and innovative.
SOEmote is able to track 64 facial points and create around 100 expression measurements per frame, providing over 5,000 measurements per second. The Director of Development for EverQuest 2, David Georgeson, and the CEO of the company that developed the technology, Robert Gehorsam explain:
You?re you for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. When you play a MMORPG, you get to be someone else. Someone bigger than life that can be heroic or evil, passionate or savage, but someone that lets you stretch out beyond the normal RL envelope of life while simultaneously becoming legendary, fighting dragons and demons and saving the world. SOEmote lets you do that in a fashion that you?ve never experienced before.
