Alfred - a System for Intuitive Facial Expression Control

Alfred was developed at the Augsburg University and is a real-time Facial Animation System ( http://mm-werkstatt.informatik.uni-augsburg.de/projects/GameEngine/doku.php/s... ) designed to create facial expressions for Animated Agents in an easier, more intuitive and faster way than conventional animation tools. The project uses a gamepad and a data glove for user input.

Alfred uses the Facial Action Coding System (FACS) by Paul Ekman and Wallace Friesen for the description and creation of the facial expressions. The tool is a standalone application based on the Horde 3D graphics engine.

I need a data glove. What is yours called and at what website can In get in?

It's called "P5 Glove". It's not produced anymore, but there are regularly remainders sold on Amazon or eBay.
