User Interface Introduction for LIVE FACE (New for v1.01)

The LIVE Face iPhone App is a facial motion data capturing tool that utilizes the true depth camera on an iPhone to transmit your expression data via Apple's blend shape system. It is intuitive to use and it can power up productivity for creating 2D or 3D animations.
