" Apple buys smaller technology companies from time to time, and we generally do not discuss our purpose or plans."įaceshift has previously worked with game and animation studios including Maya and Unity on technologies designed to accurately capture a user's expressions using 3D sensors. The Cupertino-based company confirmed the acquisition to TechCrunch and offered its standard, dry comment. Financial details of the acquisition are not yet known. Rumours of such an acquisition began in August earlier this year, but it is only now that the company has confirmed the buyout.
Apple has acquired Faceshift, a well-known Zurich-based startup that develops animated avatars and figures that can mimic a person's facial expressions in real time without the use of markers.
