Unreal’s official iPhone mocap app

Awesome option for animators.

Whoever has an iPhone and tried this, can jump right here and offer some insights. I am interested to learn opinions on this workflow.

Are they gonna make a version of this for Samsung Galaxy as well?
Out of curiosity, does iPhone have anything equivalent to it’s DeX?

@justwannapost I have no idea. Maybe on future Samsung phones if they get something comparable to Face ID.
As of right now Samsung and other Android manufactures only have low resolution TOF sensors meant for larger room volume measurements which don’t have the required resolution to track detailed facial movements.
I’m pretty sure this is why you see multiple companies making Mocap facial tracking apps (Like Unreal) for the iPhone, and not a single Android facial Mocap app on the market.

Vivo was suppose to releasing a phone in 2018 with something to challenge Face ID but it hasn’t come to pass, I believe.

I’m curious - is it, or will it be possible to capture whole bodies like running or walking or whatever, with this, instead of just the face? If not today, then some day…?
