The minds at Disney Research aren't only interested in tracking your face - they want to map, shave and clone it, too. Through a pair of research projects, Walt's proteges have managed to create systems for not only mapping, digitally reconstructing and removing facial hair, but also for creating lifelike synthetic replicas of human faces for use in animatronics. Let's start with the beards, shall we. Facial hair is a big part of a person's physical identity, a quick shave can render a close friend unrecognizable - but modern face-capture systems aren't really optimized for the stuff.
