Wow. Besides the mocap, Can you please tell me where I can find more info on designing a hand controller, or even any controllers, for facial and mouth expressions?
I recall there was a weekly russian show in late 90ies where CG puppeteered characters acted against studio guests. There was a special giving insight into production, and if i recall correctly, the second puppeteer controlled facial expression with 2 gloves both registering the stretch on each finger. Come to think of it, this sounds like similar results might work with 10 slider pult or 8 sliders and 2 analog thumbsticks. A MIDI faderbox can serve as a hardware basis, as could AVR-HID.
@ChimeraProd Since it's such a new technology that only a few movie studios are utilizing, you may have to start with Electronics for Dummies and Programming for Dummies. And even then you might not know enough to do it. I know that I don't even know where to start, but I sure wish there was a schematic and some freeware somewhere.
Hm.. Neat idea, but using the style of sesame street and the muppet show is still the only real thing for me. I grew up on those shows and heck I still love the muppets...
THIS IS SO AMAZING!

It is cool..but I still like real muppets better :). Their limits in movement always gave them a certain character :3
