2. The Application — Description and Purpose
AnimStarterFaceMocap is a professional-grade facial motion capture utility for iOS and iPadOS. The App uses Apple's TrueDepth front camera and ARKit face-tracking API to record facial expression data in real time and export the resulting animation parameters (Blendshape coefficients) for use in three-dimensional character animation software, specifically Autodesk Maya via an AnimStarter-provided companion script.

Use the App to capture facial motion data and generate Blendshape animation files.
