Winners have been contacted! Thanks for entering 🫶

Was a blast reading all the potential uses for the Headcam!

I will definitely use it to help children from the favelas in Brazil express their culture, art and creativity digitally, whether through music or anything else they can imagine, and thus enable them to have a bright and dignified future. I have been working on this project for a long time, and the Rokoko solution simplifies and facilitates everything. Loved it.

Finally someone did it! I especially like the ergonomic design and the front camera, it will be a game changer with the lighter weight. Me and a friend have been working on a game for 6 months. We are currently doing the face capture with a self-made mount. That would make our lives a lot easier and cause less neck pain😅

Id use the headcam for getting a base level of facial animation in fully animated projects and for using it to test Vtuber face rigs making sure they can emote properly.
This is such a good solution light weight solution for face tracking. The headcam plus the suit and gloves at the current indy bundle price seems like such a good way to make high quality 3D vtuber content while not relying on programs such as VRchat.

I'm working on an interactive narrative game where the main character is forced to distinguish between friends and foes as she tries to escape from a dictatorship. The core gameplay revolves around face-to-face interactions with other characters, making the narrative deeply dependent on the subtleties of these relationships. Using the headcam would be a huge boost for our project. Since the story is emotionally driven, capturing authentic facial expressions is absolutely crucial to convey the right emotions and make these interactions feel real. It would help us capture those nuanced expressions that are key to the narrative, ensuring players really connect with the characters.

This looks great! That headcam is so much better than the old one where you had to attach a cell phone to the headrig. I don't have a specific project for this myself, but my friend is developing a game, so I would help him with this.

I bought the Rokoko suit for my graduation project last year and have loved using it ever since. I found that the Facecap Body Mount is quite difficult to use when moving a lot, so I often had to record the face separately. Having this headcam with it would help me out so much to learn more and get further in the industry!

We are a small team of college students based in India, with a dream of creating games despite our limited resources. Currently, we are working on our first game - a slice-of-life action-adventure that tells a grounded love story with Indian themes and cultural representation, drawing inspiration from games like 'A Memoir Blue' and 'What Remains of Edith Finch' and Indian movie classics like "Barfi" and "The lunchbox". If we win this giveaway, we would be able to capture the high fidelity and nuanced expressions needed to convey the expressions needed in a love story as we are planning to follow the principle of "show don't tell" with heavy uses of closeup shots to visually convey the emotions.
fingers crossed :) we really really really need this.

I would use it for Vtubing. Being able to use a head mounted camera instead of a webcam or phone would be so nice for freedom of movement being able to walk away from the webcam without loosing tracking.

This cam would change my life as an animator. Working on my first long form short film, by leveraging IClone and AI Face MoCap, this speeds up efficiency and production workflows times 10. Gosh. So cool

[mjaada]

Wow, your headcam would allow me to finally start doing several projects I've wanted do but lacked the resources! As an android user, being able to capture facial expressions and move around at the same time would be absolutely perfect!

Very excited to see technology becoming more and more relatively affordable. As a paraplegic filmmaker/ storyteller, I'd use this face-capture to create content that teaches kids some of the indigenous Ghanaian languages which is being lost to the prevalent English language. This is a big problem in Ghana as more children form the middle and upper class of the society lose their mother tongue to speaking in English only.

Something like this is a life saver and so light weighted, no more sore neck from counter-balancing a homemade kit. Deffo on my wish list for my next project 10/10 💜

[Raksu]

I am currently working on a short film here in Finland based on animal rights. As a indie director I would be able to achieve my animation acting sooo much more quickly and efficiently with this rig. Getting the headcam would be truly a gamechanger for a financially struggling artist as myself! :)

[kristentitan]

I'd use the headcam for a bunch of stuff- quick testing for any face rigs I was working on, making some base animations to work off of, and I think it'd be fun to mess around with Vtuber stuff. Either making models for other people, or giving it a go myself.

[damodaranr]

I would use it to precisely capture my Characters' emotions and dialogues and bring them to life during gameplay and cinematics in my Unreal game. Already own the suit and coil pro. This would be an excellent addition for the complete mocap workflow and save hours of difficult animation work.

[matheussouza]

Howdy, Rokoko! I'd use the Headcam for the YouTube channel I'm starting (sketch comedy and short films). It would be the final infinity stone in my mocap set up (already got your suit and gloves). Thank you so much for the giveaway and for making this tech so accessible. What a time to be alive <3

[PropheticGamesProductions]

There are very rarely any Christian projects with good quality facial animation. With this Headcam, that's a thing of the past. It will be used in my video game in development.

[tiedtkeio]

I would use it to create my next 3D animated short film, without giving away too much of the plot, it's a short film about staying true to yourself and staying positive in dark moments. Inspired by Swedish and Scandinavian folk lore. The film has five distinct very interesting characters including a princess and a troll. The Rokoko Headcam would definitely make this project 10x times more easier. I also run a Youtube channel with tutorials and about filmmaking in Unreal Engine, iClone and Blender and would love to document my process too, sharing insights for example how the Headcam makes that easier for everyone and other techniques valuable for indie filmmakers and young animators.

[MetatronsCubeBX]

I would use it to make my daily videos for my shows!!
