With Faceshift, you can slip into the role of your favorite 3D character. It's based on a technology that allows you to drive your virtual avatar with your own facial expressions in real time. The software captures your facial expressions, analyzes them and animates the virtual avatar.
有了Faceshift，你可以變身成為你最喜歡的3D角色。它以一門科技為基礎，讓你即時使用自己的臉部表情操縱虛擬化身。此軟體捕捉你的臉部表情，分析它們，並繪製出虛擬化身。
Currently in online world, such as World of Warcraft or Second Life, people can interact by chatting, by typing, by audio. But we really used to interact with all the people face to face, to have emotional expressions in the communication. And with Faceshift, you can exactly do this.
目前在網路世界，像是《魔獸世界》或是《第二人生》，人們可以藉由聊天、打字、聲音來互動。但我們過去很習慣和所有人面對面互動，在溝通中看到臉部表情。現在有了Faceshift，你可以確實做到這個。
You can take the role of your character and have engaging communication with your peers. So the user just sits in front of a 3D camera. For example, that's the Microsoft Kinect. And the software will then track all facial expressions, the head pose and the eye gaze, and map them onto the virtual avatars.
你可以扮演你的角色，並與你的同伴交流。所以使用者只要坐在3D攝影機前。舉例來說，這是微軟的Kinect。軟體會接著追蹤所有臉部的表情、頭部的姿態和眼睛的凝視，並將它們繪製到虛擬化身上。
Our first commercial product is Faceshift Studio, which is targeted at professional animators and artists to use them for the animations in games, movies and TV. So we really provide real-time motion capture at every desk.
我們的第一項商業產品是Faceshift Studio，目標鎖定讓專業動畫家和藝術家，使用它們來做遊戲、電影和電視裡的動畫。所以我們確實在各個工作枱提供即時動作捕捉的技術。
The basic principle behind the technology is that we take this input, the 3D depth and color data that we get from the camera, and then we have a 3D model, a representation, a personalized avatar of the actor. And we basically find the best combination of expressions, so that it fits to the depth and color data. And once we fit these expressions that you can see here over time, we can map these on to our virtual avatar.
這個技術背後的基本原理是，我們使用這輸入的資訊－－從攝影機取得的3D色深資料，接著我們有3D模型、一個圖像－－演員個人化的虛擬化身。然後基本上我們找出表情的最佳組合，因而它能符合色深資料。當我們配上之後你可以在這看到的這些表情，我們就可以將這些表情描繪到虛擬化身上。
So we are eagerly awaiting the next generation of 3D cameras, because more accurate and faster cameras means also even more astonishing results. And in the meantime, we will develop a software development kit that allows other developers to integrate our technology into their own products for online games, for Skype like applications.
所以我們正熱切地等待下一代的3D攝影機，因為更準確且更快速的攝影機同樣代表甚至更驚人的成果。同時，我們將會研發一套軟體開發工具組，讓其他開發者能將我們的技術整合進他們自己的線上遊戲產品、以及類似Skype的應用程式。
And we really believe that this will change the way that people interact in online worlds.
而我們確信這將會改變人們在網路世界互動的方式。
