Now that we can generate MH facial animations from monocular video, could you make a feature in FACE LINK that lets users record monocular video from an external usb-c camera on Android?
This way users won’t need to spend north of $1000 for an android phone that supports Face Link.
The ability to accept video feed from an external USB-C (UVC) camera also makes it so we can use ligth-weight mocap helmets, rather than having a brick hanging off the actor’s face during the entire duration of a shooting.
There are apps like USBCAMERA that do exactly that on non-expensive phones (at 60fps), however the implementation with Live Link Hub, would enable users to start the monocular capture remotely.
Hi grossimatte,
Thanks for contacting support! We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback about adding a new feature that allows users to record monocular video from an external usb-c camera on Android.
I would encourage you to share your feedback on our **Metahuman forum board ( Epic Developer Community Forums ) as well, so our Metahuman team can review your feedback and send it to the appropriate teams.
Typically, publishers and developers use the Epic Games Store forums to ask questions about publishing their games on the Epic Games Store. We want to make sure your feedback is visible to the appropriate teams!
Thank you again for taking the time to provide this feedback!
