About

Axis Face

Read full description

Axis Face records full face motion capture and voice recording to FBX and WAV format. It's optimized to work with the weight balanced VEX Helmet which prevents neck strain by centering the iPhone weight above your head instead of in front of your face. Great for long sessions and quick recordings. Axis Face can also connect to Axis Studio from Noitom to synchronize face, voice, and full body motion capture with a single button. This eliminates the hassle of manually recording on iPhone, then later trying to get body and face data in sync.
