While it's not perfect (Apple, please fix the separate eyebrow tracking!), it can produce decent results quickly and with minimal post cleanup. Use a capable webcam to live mocap or a pre-recorded image sequence to drive natural human facial expressions and head movement.

Please install ONLY the one that applies to your version of the Kinect sensor. IPhone X/Live Face is a stable, efficient and easy-to-use facial mocap approach, and is a practical addition to the animator's toolbox. Faceware Realtime for iClone is a professional quality realtime facial tracking software designed to give iClone users a simple, cost-effective, and powerful tool for animating character’s faces. Each one requires its own version of the Mocap Device Plug-in. In fact, the combined cost of the phone and software is about the same as for iClone's existing Faceware system. Even with the cost of the iPhone itself, this is good value for a robust facial mocap solution. With iClone5s new Mocap Device Plug-in, now you can use your own body to control virtual actors, in real-time, with motion smoothing optimizations. The iClone Animation Pipeline became a trio of products: iClone PRO, 3DXchange for import, export and rigging, and the Mocap Device Plugin enabling real-time motion capture with the Microsoft Kinect for Windows and OpenNI sensor supported devices. There's no denying that the iPhone X is expensive, and assuming you already have iClone 7 and the Motion LIVE integrated mocap plugin, it will cost about £230 for the software to use the phone for facial mocap in iClone.
