The Filmakademie Public Facial Data-set is a project aimed to advance research and development in the domain of performance capture and facial animation. Utilizing the Mova ® Contour ™ Reality Capture System allowed us to build a library of facial movements with an accuracy never seen before.
The total data-set consists of about 170 facial actions from which currently only 25 have been processed. In order to build the entire data-set we are looking for partners to help finance this venture. Our thanks go to Christoph Biehn, currently Senior Technical Staff Artist at Sony Computer Entertainment of America (SCEA) who helped to make this dataset possible acting as a FACS consultant.

The current version of the data is available in Maya 2009 (ASCII) file format only.
