MetaHuman Animator & Rokoko's Headcam: Introducing the perfect match for high-quality face capture
Here’s the TLDR:
Rokoko’s Headcam is the ideal companion for Epic Games’ new MetaHuman Animator, offering an affordable studio-grade, lightweight solution for high-quality facial motion capture. Designed with guidance from Epic Games, it integrates seamlessly with the new MetaHuman Animator single-cam solution and captures realistic expressions with ease and accuracy. To celebrate, we’re offering a 15% limited-time discount.
The world of facial motion capture is about to experience a transformative leap forward. Until now, achieving high-quality facial motion capture with MetaHuman Animator from Epic Games meant using an iPhone. This setup, while yielding good results, often involved uncomfortable rigs that placed a heavy phone right in front of your face. But that’s about to change.
Epic Games is launching a single-camera version of MetaHuman Animator, compatible with external cameras on Android phones. This breakthrough solution promises real-time performance capture and quality surpassing anything currently available in the market. It’s a game-changer for creators who want to push the boundaries of digital human animation without the constraints of heavy hardware.
At Rokoko, we’re excited to introduce a hardware companion specifically designed to maximize the output of this recent update: our Headcam.
Designed with comfort and performance in mind, our Headcam is the world’s lightest face capture camera. Weighing next to nothing, the Headcam sits seamlessly on a head mount, ensuring you barely notice it’s there. No more neck strain or obstructed views - just a natural, comfortable experience that lets you focus entirely on your performance.

The head-mounted camera delivers a crisp 60 frames per second capture rate, ensuring every subtle facial expression is recorded with precision. It even features a handy LED light to help you adjust your lighting on the fly. With a price point of just $495, the Headcam is not only the most effective solution but also one of the most affordable in the professional space.
And to celebrate this launch, we’re offering a 15% discount for Unreal Engine users, making our studio-grade tech even more accessible. Visit our website to access the discount.
