New technology of Star Citizen avatar will our silly faces also transfer to the game, if we live to its release

  • 21

It seems that development team Cloud Imperium Games has too much time and money available because Star Citizen, which was announced in 2012, still has no defined release date. Moreover, at first we were promised that alpha version 3.0 we would play in late 2016, but after a couple of delays the same alpha will be played next month. Probably.

But not to seems like Cloud Imperium Games deals only with delays and disappointment of fans, they`ve recently agreed to collaborate with Faceware Technologies which resulted in an ambitious cool little thing called Face Over Internet Protocol. This technology will capture your face, and the moves of the same will transfer to your character in the game. It is best to see the video we have attached for you below.

 

 

It should also be noted that the software is developed to be compatible with most cameras, but 25 to 30 frames per second will not be enough to faithfully transmit lip movements. However, if you want to make full use of all this technology, you can buy a full featured Faceware camera optimized for this purpose.

With the delays this seems like the kind of things you'd add after the main game is done.  Hopefully we'll get a good game regardless.

This is so cooool, this will be so awesome. Can't wait to try it.

It'd be smart of them to license all of the technologies they're developing, and release as 3rd-party tools. This could then be used by much more interesting games ;)


Interstellar

So they can't finish the game but add things like this to the game ?

Hopefully i'm not one of those who put money in this game....

nice tech, but finish the darn game already.  This is duke nukem forever in space.
