The Headcam is now shipping│Lightweight, Android face-capture 

Winners have been contacted! Thanks for entering 🫶 Was a blast reading all the potential uses for the Headcam!

Welcome back Sam!

Id use the headcam for getting a base level of facial animation in fully animated projects and for using it to test Vtuber face rigs making sure they can emote properly. This is such a good solution light weight solution for face tracking. The headcam plus the suit and gloves at the current indy bundle price seems like such a good way to make high quality 3D vtuber content while not relying on programs such as VRchat.

We are a small team of college students based in India, with a dream of creating games despite our limited resources. Currently, we are working on our first game - a slice-of-life action-adventure that tells a grounded love story with Indian themes and cultural representation, drawing inspiration from games like 'A Memoir Blue' and 'What Remains of Edith Finch' and Indian movie classics like "Barfi" and "The lunchbox". If we win this giveaway, we would be able to capture the high fidelity and nuanced expressions needed to convey the expressions needed in a love story as we are planning to follow the principle of "show don't tell" with heavy uses of closeup shots to visually convey the emotions. fingers crossed :) we really really really need this.

I will give it to my friends who are developing their first game.

There are very rarely any Christian projects with good quality facial animation. With this Headcam, that's a thing of the past. It will be used in my video game in development.

I will definitely use it to help children from the favelas in Brazil express their culture, art and creativity digitally, whether through music or anything else they can imagine, and thus enable them to have a bright and dignified future. I have been working on this project for a long time, and the Rokoko solution simplifies and facilitates everything. Loved it.

I would use it to precisely capture my Characters' emotions and dialogues and bring them to life during gameplay and cinematics in my Unreal game. Already own the suit and coil pro. This would be an excellent addition for the complete mocap workflow and save hours of difficult animation work.

I would use it for Vtubing. Being able to use a head mounted camera instead of a webcam or phone would be so nice for freedom of movement being able to walk away from the webcam without loosing tracking.

I am developing a 3D Fighter, similar to Tekken using Unreal Engine and Reallusion ICLONE. I train at a MMA gym and have plenty of volunteers for character animations. The suit and gloves are shipped right now. I would love to add the headcam!

I 🤞🏾 WILL 🤞🏾 use it for all of my live streams, IG vids, and Blender!!

The headcam looks awesome and I’d use it for soooo many projects. Syncing body and facial motion in a high quality and lightweight way is exciting. - I made a homemade head cam a while back and it’s…not great. Heavy and a bit painful. 😞 The Rokoko HeadCamlooks awesome and would help take things to the next level! 😃

This looks so awesome! I'm currently working on VR projects for schools and the Headcam would be perfect for creating the animations of the teachers 😀

I would use it to make my daily videos for my shows!!

I started to create game with UE5 of course. I will use your beautiful technology to create real-time animation for sequencer and other animations. Plus, in the future, I plan to buy your super suite to complete my animation setup

I'd motion capture our Dinosauldier NPC's and lead characters in our upcoming VR game called Primal Reign, a time travel game set in 1942 Egypt, where two British archaeologists get caught up in the nightmare of a nazi dinosaur experiment!

I would use it for my upcoming game dialogues

We're working on a project that desperately needs a high-end headcam. The project is bringing entertainment, education, and instruction to deaf people all over the world. We're doing it via Rokoko motion capture suit, gloves, and coil (which we're purchasing soon). BTW, deaf people are THE SINGLE most underserved people group ON THE PLANET in terms of having video based entertainment, education, and instruction options. We'd love to chat more with Rokoko about partnering with us on this project, in fact!

I did the first movie on the internet called Wax or the Discovery of television among the bees. I'm finishing up the sequel which I've been working on for 30 years and I need to do about a hundred hours of 3D head animation of the movie talkers who are telling the story of this movie. I've done motion capture since about 1995, with magnetic and optical systems, but do the budget limitations don't have access to those tools at this time. That'd be really happy to be able to use Headcam to get this rather intensive job done! Thanks for considering!

I would use it in my storytelling of a narrative, while experimenting with other creative ways to use it.

i would use it for all my iclone 8 workflows to make my animated film series i am working on for my channel! :)

Rokoko is Really an awesome product. I use my suite more Than 5 years Now. 💕

This is a game changer! I'm currently working on an animation for my new RU-vid channel. Having this will definitely help me capture the subtle facial expressions I wanted to get the emotion as raw as possible!

I would use it to teach my students MoCap

Awesome!!!! this is sooooo dope! I want to use this to connect the dots with my Lofi Music releases and the "AI" DJ character I created to be the "face" of the music. this is so amazing, and android??!!! YES!!!

I would use it to make shortfilms in unreal engine.

I’d use the Rokoko headcam to finally give my Unreal Engine MetaHumans the ability to look down at their own feet and wonder why they can’t dance. Let the virtual two-left-feet shenanigans begin! 🕺😂

Looks pretty good! Head gear looks comfortable and solid. We'd use this for our animated projects we're developing in Unreal!

I'll use it for my upcoming narrative driven zombie apocalypse game, where facial expressions are really important to deliver thier thoughts and feelings

I would definitely use with playing D&D on TableTop, to play out my NPCs to my players. No more poorly built costumes, or resourcing on their imagination. I would be able to build my NPCs on UE and simply throw them at my players. AWESOME

Looks great! I'd use it to combine Rokoko with both traditional and new AI 3D animation processes for the in-depth tutorials and animated shorts on my channel.

So cool! I'm a solo indie dev. It'd definitely help me up my game (pun intended.) I've shied away from trying to make certain kinds of games because bad animation makes a game look really cheap, so this would help a lot.

Oh wow I will definitely use this to recreate the Raygun brokedance from the world Olympics

I would use it for facial motion capture 😏

I plan to use Headcam for my VTubing and anime production projects. With my graphic design background, I enjoy creating fictional stories and bringing them to life through animation and drawing. It’d be great to combine Headcam with my SlimeVR tracker to bring my creation to another level with 3D virtual production for Vtubing ☺️

That’s exactly what I need for my AccuFace ✨

would use it at Meta to replace the hosts of the multiple videos we make with a Metahuman presenter (training videos, product announcement, etc). Proof of concept has already been done and we would use this Headcam instead of the current one that holds an iPhone.

We’d use it for our movie-concerts in Planetariums. We’re struggling a bit at the moment with facial animations, this is THE tool we need in our association 🤩🤩

Howdy, Rokoko! I'd use the Headcam for the RU-vid channel I'm starting (sketch comedy and short films). It would be the final infinity stone in my mocap set up (already got your suit and gloves). Thank you so much for the giveaway and for making this tech so accessible. What a time to be alive

This cam would change my life as an animator. Working on my first long form short film, by leveraging IClone and AI Face MoCap, this speeds up efficiency and production workflows times 10. Gosh. So cool

If I having "The Headcam" would be a game-changer. Here’s how I would approach it: Create Immersive Animal Worlds The new headset could enable me to dive into the animation process, allowing me to create more immersive and realistic environments. I could design habitats and ecosystems that perfectly match the animals’ behaviors and movements. Imagine creating a virtual savannah where a lion hunts, or an underwater coral reef with vibrant marine life-all from a first-person perspective. Enhance Storytelling with Realistic Interactions I’d use the headset to craft stories where viewers feel like they are truly part of the experience. I could fine-tune the animals’ expressions, gestures, and interactions, making them more lifelike. This would deepen the emotional connection viewers have with the animals and make each scene more engaging. Speed Up Workflow with Intuitive Controls The headset’s controls would likely make the animation process more intuitive, allowing me to sculpt, move, and animate 3D models naturally with my hands or voice commands. This would speed up production time, allowing me to explore more creative ideas, experiment with new styles, and produce content faster. Explore New Formats Like VR or AR With this new technology, I could expand into virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) experiences. Viewers could experience my animal stories in a more immersive way-like walking through a jungle alongside the animals or observing them in their natural habitat from up close. Collaborate More Effectively The advanced features of the headset could make remote collaboration smoother. I could interact in real-time with other animators, modelers, or voice actors from anywhere, refining the project together while being “inside” the animation world. Host Live Animation Sessions and Workshops I could stream live sessions, giving fans and aspiring creators an inside look at my creative process. This would allow me to engage with the community, answer questions, and showcase how I bring animals to life using the new headset. Push Boundaries with Experimental Projects Lastly, I’d use the ease and speed of the headset to push creative boundaries. I could experiment with combining different styles, genres, or even hybrid animal designs, letting the technology open new possibilities in storytelling and animation. This tool would be a significant upgrade, letting me focus more on creativity and less on technical limitations! ;)

I would use this for our indie game which uses a technique called cut cameras (more about this : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ox2H3kUQByo.html ) for close-up shots to add emotional depth. Since the game heavily relies on conveying strong emotions, including in action sequences, we need good equipment to capture these details. The Rokoko headcams would be perfect for this, helping us bring our characters’ emotions to life. Thanks

I would use it for the production of high quality cinematic experiences and sharing the knowledge along the way.

This would be great to enable much higher fidelity in some animation passion projects - still in experimental phases, and lowering workload without ballooning cost has been a hurdle. The Apple device dependance seemed like a risk, so I'm glad to see something that can continue without Apple's support. (How are you contacting winners, though? Comment replies? Hope the winners don't miss it!)

I would use it to check if my face really is as empty as they told me. And put my face on other characters to make it not look empty. I know I'm not going to win, but nice work with the gear!

This is sick. Would love to use for my unreal projects for RU-vid.

I already have the Smartsuit and Smartgloves. They work great with the Reallusion products I use to make demo videos of my story ideas. Having the Headcam would further up my game!

I'm been preparing to start a really cool RU-vid channel on Blockchain since its abstract for beginners for the most part and I've been saving up for the full performance capture for years so I can make some really unique content. Getting the headcam in a giveaway would be so awesome😭. I'd appreciate that

I'd use the headcam for a bunch of stuff- quick testing for any face rigs I was working on, making some base animations to work off of, and I think it'd be fun to mess around with Vtuber stuff. Either making models for other people, or giving it a go myself.

I would use it to create my next 3D animated short film, without giving away too much of the plot, it's a short film about staying true to yourself and staying positive in dark moments. Inspired by Swedish and Scandinavian folk lore. The film has five distinct very interesting characters including a princess and a troll. The Rokoko Headcam would definitely make this project 10x times more easier. I also run a RU-vid channel with tutorials and about filmmaking in Unreal Engine, iClone and Blender and would love to document my process too, sharing insights for example how the Headcam makes that easier for everyone and other techniques valuable for indie filmmakers and young animators.

Right this moment? Working on a rough previs of a live-action feature film that will be my directorial debut. While trying to get funding with the script, decided to just previs in Unreal - at least 30 minutes - for the upcoming presentations to make my vision clear. At this moment all the meta humans are static, emotionless. Pretty sure the stand in actress who needs to give some performance will be happy if I inform I dumped the bulky helmets). Also documenting this process. Because if you tell me, this is the way! Even for indie filmmakers.

Friends of mine are currently developing a game and are constantly talking about Rokoko. I would give it to them. Pleeeeace❤

I would use it for AI characters in my augmented/mixed reality game I'm creating! Something I've been working on in the background for a few years solo and this will help the immersion greatly!

I am currently working on a short film here in Finland based on animal rights. As a indie director I would be able to achieve my animation acting sooo much more quickly and efficiently with this rig. Getting the headcam would be truly a gamechanger for a financially struggling artist as myself! :)

I would use it to replace my iPhone in my MOCAP set-up! Can't wait to try it to use it every day to capture behind-the-scenes content and to live-stream our first shows.

Very excited to see technology becoming more and more relatively affordable. As a paraplegic filmmaker/ storyteller, I'd use this face-capture to create content that teaches kids some of the indigenous Ghanaian languages which is being lost to the prevalent English language. This is a big problem in Ghana as more children form the middle and upper class of the society lose their mother tongue to speaking in English only.

Ooh! I'd use it with my mocap setup! Right now I have to use an old iphone and do my facial acting in a second pass after recording full body mocap... because of the lag and it's impossible to wear when doing more extreme movements. Fingers crossed that I get picked as one of the lucky 3! 🤞

Friends of mine are currently developing a game and are constantly talking about Rokoko. I would give it to them.

I would use it to help me with videogames development, since I remember I love when people could capture their expressions with this kind of equipment, also I would love to share that experience with my friends because we are all studying animation and videogame developement 😁

I'm working on an interactive narrative game where the main character is forced to distinguish between friends and foes as she tries to escape from a dictatorship. The core gameplay revolves around face-to-face interactions with other characters, making the narrative deeply dependent on the subtleties of these relationships. Using the headcam would be a huge boost for our project. Since the story is emotionally driven, capturing authentic facial expressions is absolutely crucial to convey the right emotions and make these interactions feel real. It would help us capture those nuanced expressions that are key to the narrative, ensuring players really connect with the characters.

This looks great! That headcam is so much better than the old one where you had to attach a cell phone to the headrig. I don't have a specific project for this myself, but my friend is developing a game, so I would help him with this.

Looks awesome would love to get one. Hope it’s comfortable to use. I would use it for my game I'm developing using unreal engine 5.

I would use for my next projects! Personal projects but it’d definitely be a sign to buy the rokoko suit pro 2 and have the full package!

I would use this to teach my middle school Advanced STEM students how to do facial motion capture with a real-world tool. I was going to start off with Adobe tool Character Animator but this would help show the next step.

i've been wanting to get into facial motion capture for the purpose of making music videos in Blender 💚💜

I'm collecting this gear for making VR training apps. I'm gonan make a vr space where lifeguards, paramedics and surgeons can train

I will use the headcam for my new passion: music video clip animation! I'll use it to animate my metahumans on unreal engines!! 🤞🤞🤞

We bought a HeadRig and it is nice, but I prefer the more compact design of the small cameras, reminds me more of the experience we have with the high end stereo cam headsets we use for our shoots. But if I got one of these free, I'd be able to use it for impromptu pickup shoots and personal projects in Maya and Unreal!

Man, I'm so excited. I'd use the head rig for Vtubing and faster blender facial animation instead of forking out for an iPhone that would weigh down my face.

Amazing! I would be able to shoot my short!!! No budget, unlimited ideas!

I am in preproduction for my independent solo feature film Shelf Life, set to shoot in October and November of this year. While the film is primarily shot in live action, all of the characters in the film are animated characters. This would be an incredible tool for the production of my film.

If had this headcam im making Netflix animation movies and Vtubing using Unreal Engine.

We will use the Rokoko headset for filmmaking the first ever Independent Indian movie in an unreal engine generated with meta human characters

I'd use the Headcam to make a mini-fiction action adventure web series, that would use your imagination to peak your interest in endeavors across the universe.

I use animation and game development as a way to give kids from townships in South Africa digital and programming skills. That is what I would use this for. The kids come up with stories inspired by their lives and dreams, we refine the stories and turn them into animated films and video games animated and developed by the kids themselves assisted by the provided lessons. As our learners grow, they have a desire to produce something more sophisticated, something more ambitious and this product will help in that regard.

I will just make a comment to boost the algorithm.🎉🎉🎉 Great product and I'm not sure why my projects deserve it more then any other. ❤🎉😊

never had a facial mocap system before due to a majority of them being extremely expensive and out of my price range, still would love to test out the headcam just for personal projects and just learning a completely new pipeline in general

I'd use it for making some music videos with/for experimental artists here in London

This looks great, I'd love to use it to finish of my unreal short film, hand keying those metahuman expressions is slow going!

I will use it to beat procrastination, stop banging my head on the wall ( it will be impossible while wearing this beauty) and make my dream movie!

I would use it to create my personal real-time projects inside Unreal. Love it! Thanks

We are a small Indi studio. We would love to win one to enhance the facial animations our our current game in development Strive a path forward.

Can someone tell me if the rokoko face mocap is good? I wasn't able to tell how accurate the lip tracking was from this video.

If I have this, I will use it to use it in the animation dialogue of super hero fights. It is very necessary

My students would use the headcam to animate dobby. Dobby was made as an asset for offline rendering as well as real Time in unreal engine. Send one my way

Would be great to use for my Metahuman Unreal Engine 5 Workflow

How does this compare quality wise to using the Live Link iPhone app?

I’ll use it to make STAR WARS 2. Because well…. The world needs it

I would like one to use it for my dream project which is an animation movie to release on Netflix(or else).

I would use the headcame for my youtube channel and learning animation

I would use it for facial mocap for the video game I'm working on

I would use it for stylized animated short movies in blender and share them for free online.

Looks great. I Would love to use it for animated 3d comedy skits.

I would use it to shoot my shot film and replace my current desk setup

I will use it to bring emotion to my motion (graphics video)

I would use it to animate cinematics in Unreal 5 for my character Qassim!

Oh pick me, pick me! I'm currently making a short using unreal with your rokoko suit about two up and coming rappers, who aren't too happy when they find out a rival rapper has bought up all the local producers to monopolize the talent and they aren't too happy about it. I do hope to finish this one up by the end of the month, but the headcam would let me do more of these, with the ultimate plan of making an animated feature! Using elevenlabs speech to speech so I can get one performer doing every role, but its hard for them to read the scrolling script over the top of the iPhone!

Would be using it to make loads of animated IG & TikTok videos.

I would use the headcam to create short films for my channel

Wooooooooooow ❤ time to create my music video for real! Fingers crossed 🎉
