Folks over at MP1st have spotted a virtual reality patent filed by Sony Interactive Entertainment that discusses facial feature tracking via head mounted display (HMD) to deliver a more realistic experience.
A description provided by the company talks about capturing images of the user?s mouth and nose, and detecting their eye gaze. The technology would allow other users to see an avatar of the player that mimics their facial expressions and movements. The patent also mentions users being able to see a part of their own nose in VR like they do in reality.
