Apple reportedly purchased facial motion-capture company FaceShift
A new rumor floating around the web today indicates that Apple may have recently purchased FaceShift, a Swiss tech company specializing in real-time markerless facial motion capture. It wouldn’t be Apple’s first purchase in the area of facial motion capture or gesture control, though outside of the new Apple TV, it’s unclear what they might be using it for.
While Apple and FaceShift haven’t yet confirmed the buyout, there are some interesting details that seems to point to that being the case.
