#1 - FaceCam iPhone HMC by Face.camera (Radical Variance)

Standard Deviation won an academy award for their motion capture, AKA mocap, designs in 2020. The design of the FaceCam iPhone HMC facial motion capture helmet was based upon the same technology they developed for super high-end motion capture helmets used in numerous blockbuster movies and AAAA games.

Based upon its light weight, reliability, comfort, stability, durability, and ease of adjustment, several of our customers have purchased multiple quantities of our helmets, (four to twenty-five,) for use in high profile, mission-critical, multi-person capture situations such as:

Other important features:

  • Our mocap helmet, hand made from special metal alloy parts, masterfully and comfortably surrounds the largest part of the performer’s head. It provides ideal conformance to the performer’s actual head shape. This is in contrast to plastic helmets which clamp, rather than fit, the performer’s head.
  • Its open-crown design keeps performers’ heads cool, while providing absolutely stable capture, even during gymnastic motions, without the need for uncomfortable, restrictive, chin straps.
  • With FaceCam iPhone HMC, jaw and facial motion are never impeded, so performers can always speak and act naturally.
  • The mocap helmet’s light weight and dual cantilevered optional counterweight support long facial mocap sessions without causing neck strain or unnatural head and body motions.
  • The helmet’s boom arm, which holds the iPhone in front of the face, is made from a unique metal alloy that offers exceptional rigidity, while absorbing iPhone motion, (relative to the head,) thereby ensuring superior focal alignment between the iPhone’s TrueDepth sensor and the performer’s face.
  • Supported by superbly designed, uniquely capable optional accessories.

The optional counterweight has a number of essential, one of a kind, features:

  • It can be tuned — The offset distance of the weight from the helmet can be varied to precisely balance any iPhone models, X and higher. The angle of the weight can be tilted up or down, per the user’s preference.
  • The orientation of the counterweight is in-line with FaceCam’s boom arm, which provides superior balancing of the weight of the phone.

Memory foam

  • The included foam, (and optional spare foam) is provided in two thickness, so performers and mocap producers can balance perfomers' personal comfort needs, due to each performer’s unique head shape, and helmet stability.
  • The two thicknesses of foam can be mixed and matched; for instance, performers with thick hair might benefit from using thinner foam behind their head, while using thicker foam on their forehead.
  • Our proprietary foam is hand washable, and it dries overnight. Having spare foam on hand provides ideal hygienic conditions when the helmet will be worn by different performers on the same day: each performer can be fitted with fresh foam, rather than having to share foam that has recently been in contact with another perfomer’s face and hair.

Optional tracker mount:

  • Allows placement of optical markers, inertial trackers, or Vive trackers above the perfomer’s head, which provides better occlusion resistance, and/or superior balance.

Cost: $1250

Plusses:

  • Extremely stable
  • Lightweight
  • Available options greatly expand its capabilities.
  • Rigid lightweight single boom arm absorbs vibration and lets performers drink water or coffee without having to remove their helmet.
  • Hand washable foam dries quickly overnight for hygienic capture, even when helmet will be shared.
  • Rapid, responsive, service and support
  • It is less expensive than Mocap Design’s M2 Headcam and Yanus Studio’s Yanus CAM IPHONE.
  • Includes a one year warranty on parts and labor
  • 30 day return policy
  • Toolless design, which protects performer’s eyes, face, and head
  • Tightens with a single ratchet strap, with additional adjustments available for the utmost head-shape conformity.
  • No protruding pointy edges
  • Easily customized

Minuses:

  • It is more expensive than DIY helmets or competitor’s cheap helmets.
  • Does not ship to certain countries: China, Russia, Nigeria, Cuba, etc.

#2 - M2 Headcam by Mocap Design

Mocap Design’s M2 Headcam, is made from ABS plastic, using 3D print on demand technology. A 2021 blog article on their website proclaims it is ‘the #1 iPhone Mocap Helmet’. A blog article from early 2023 claims it is ‘the most stable iPhone solution for VR and AR applications’. They offer camera cases for a number of GoPro models, which can support an outward facing camera for POV or environment footage from any angle, thanks to boom arm’s ability to ‘rotate and lock over a full 360-degree range’ though in theory a user’s neck and body would get in the way.

Cost: $1,699. Although listed as a sale price, that has been the de facto price since September 2022.

Plusses:

  • Innovative design: They obviously covered a lot of bases in making a 3D-printed mocap helmet.
  • Camera case: Available for several GoPro models as well as Intel’s discontinued RealSense D415 30 fps rolling shutter scanning camera, in addition to iPhone models X through 14.
  • LED lighting option:
    • Can be positioned and swiveled along the helmet’s boom arm.
    • LEDs run for 6 to 8 hours on a 9-volt battery.
  • Boom arm tilt:
    • Useful for environment capture.
  • Optional Single Boom Arm:
    • Can attach to either side of the helmet.
    • Overcomes some of the inherent limitations of the M2 Headcam.
  • Ships flat, for free shipping to most countries.

Minuses:

  • M2 Headcam cost is more than 40% greater than the price of FaceCam iPhone HMC.
    • Most of M2 Headcam’s add-ons are quite expensive, as well.
  • Design:
    • Boom arm ends are not capped, which risks potential eye or skin injuries to other actors.
    • Standard boom arm and its diagonal supports intersect the actor's line of sight.
    • Requires numerous individual adjustments to adapt it to different head sizes.
    • Helmet removal is necessary for several of the helmet adjustments.
  • Material — ABS Plastic:
    • Heavy – M2 Headcam weighs about 2.5 times as much as FaceCam iPhone HMC.
    • Potential durability issues: Several of our customers have said they initially purchased M2 Headcams. Unfortunately, their helmets broke during tightening within the first several uses. :-(
  • Camera Case:
    • Each iPhone model requires purchase of a different camera case, at $95 apiece.
    • iPhone models 15 and 16 are not supported.
  • LED lighting option:
    • At $325, it increases the cost of the M2 Headcam by about 20%. Given this add-on’s components, it is mind-boggling how it could command such a high price:
      • Two LEDs
      • 3D-printed mounts
      • threaded bolts
      • connecting wires
      • 3D-printed battery pack
      • 9-volt, non-rechargeable, battery
    • Our solution? Spend $10-30 for an off-the-shelf USB-rechargeable iPhone ring light.
  • Optional Single Boom arm:
    • At $675, it increases the cost of an M2 Headcam by about 40%.
    • It is an extremely expensive solution to allow talent to stay hydrated and/or caffeinated, without removing their helmet, and to bypass M2 Headcam’s inherent field of view limitations.
  • No available counterweight option
    • Weight of phone is unbalanced, which can cause uncomfortable neck strain, especially with heavier phones.
  • Chin strap required for faster motions
    • Chin straps inhibit jaw motion, resulting in stiff, inaccurate facial mocap recordings.
    • Though necessary to ensure stability of an M2 Headcam, during fast motions your talent will find them especially uncomfortable.
  • Foam padding and headband pad — website doesn't list spare foam or forehead pads
    • Non-hygienic, if helmet is shared
    • Need for machine washing can introduce production and scheduling delays
  • No convenient options for attaching an above-head optical marker, or tracking devices, such as an Inertial Measurement Unit, Vive tracker.
  • Warranty: None listed
  • Return policy: None listed
  • Last website update: Early 2023. Perhaps that explains why their order page includes a number of US-embargoed countries.

#3 - Headrig by Rokoko Electronics ApS

<

Rokoko describes Headrig as ‘a lightweight, comfortable, and adjustable motion capture head mount designed to accommodate an iPhone.’ It offers a low cost of entry for face mocap with an iPhone. It does not require a chin strap, though it does utilize a strap on top of the head for increased downward stability. Includes a 360g counterweight. Viewed from the bottom, the shape of the helmet could be described as an oval that is flat on both long sides.

Plusses:

  • Flat rate worldwide $50 shipping
  • 30 day return policy
  • One year warranty
  • Includes removable counterweight
  • Tightens with a single ratchet strap
  • No chin strap

Minuses:

  • Judging by the video on their website, the motion of the helmet, relative to the performers head, makes Headrig look to be slightly less than stable.
  • The bent U-shaped boom that supports the camera holder looks a bit thin.
  • The strap above the head wouldn’t be necessary if the Headrig had a more secure fit. Compare our dancer’s aerials and cartwheel, to see what stability really looks like.
  • Not compatible with iPhone Plus and iPhone Max
  • iPhone counterweight is not tunable:
    • Its ability to utilize leverage is minimal: Though it is 44% heavier than the Counterweight for our iPhone HMC, it amounts to an ‘all or nothing’ scenario, since it attaches directly to the back of the helmet (back of head), without any offset.
    • Lack of tunability eliminates the ability to make different adjustments depending upon which iPhone model is being used. In contrast, our counterweight can extend up to about 8” back from the center of the helmet. Additionally, the weight part of our counterweight can be fine-tuned by tilting up or down.
  • Headrig utilizes two smaller foam pieces above the ears and one cushion at the front of the head and one at the back. Headrig’s foam doesn’t look especially comfortable. There are gaps between the side pieces and the front and back pieces. These gaps could allow hair to get caught when the helmet is tightened or loosened.
    • In contrast, the foam of the FaceCam iPhone HMC almost completely surrounds the head and even cushions the skin or sideburn area in front of the ear.
    • FaceCam users can mix and match the two included foam thicknesses for superior comfort and fit.
  • Provides approximately 50% less actual foam-covered support area than FaceCam iPhone HMC. Decreased contact with the head limits its stability.
  • Rokoko’s website doesn’t mention foam washability or even spare foam. That raises issues of hygienics, since everyone that wears the same head rig would have the same non-swappable foam parts coming in contact with the skin on their forehead and their hair.
  • Talent cannot drink water or coffee while wearing the Headrig due to the U-shaped boom arm.
  • Does not offer any convenient option to attach an Inertial Measurement Unit, Vive tracker, or an above-the head optical marker.

#4 - FaceMotionCapture Headrig by FaceMotionCapture

<

If you are thinking of building a DIY mocap helmet, you might want to think twice, since the FaceMotionCapture Headrig, made in the UK, sells for roughly $160-$185, when shipped to the United States. (Of course, that price will fluctuate based upon currency conversion rates from GBP to your local currency as well as importation rates.)

One of its reviewers described it as a ‘3D printed part and a classic construction helmet.’ If that is all your budget can afford, this might be a good choice for you. It could save you from investing the time and effort to come up with your own design, sourcing the needed parts, prototyping your DIY helmet, and continually iterating your design.

Plusses:

  • Budget price.
  • The 3D printed boom looks to be decently designed.
  • Includes a counterweight.
  • Tightens with a single ratchet strap.
  • No chin strap.

Minuses:

  • Heavy. Construction helmet + 500g + 3D-printed boom arm, it probably weighs at least 50 to 60% as much a motorcycle helmet. Counterweight does not appear to be removable. Heavy weight of helmet will affect body performance, since the neck will be supporting greater weight than normal.
  • Though supported from above by the construction helmet straps, there isn’t anything supporting attachment from the bottom. If a performer jumps, the helmet will probably come up a bit when they are at the apex of their jump, especially if they have long hair.
  • Minimal adjustability for snugness by tightening the ratchet strap against the performer’s skull.
  • Perhaps not especially stable, even when ratchet wheel is super-tight. The more hair someone has, the less stable their face mocap will be.
  • Obstructed line of sight
  • The helmet plus boom is a lot bigger than a person’s head. That will definitely affect the way the actor moves their head, and even their body. The greater size will increase occlusion when used with optical body tracking.
  • There is not that much actual contact with the head. It has a narrow headband-type ring assembly that tightens via a ratchet strap. Beyond that, it is supported from above by the helmet’s three internal straps.
  • The parts of the helmet that contact the forehead and hair are not washable; therefore, sharing of the helmet is unhygienic.
  • This helmet is liable to wobble, even more so with faster motions, based on the weight of the helmet and counterweight.
  • There is no convenient option for attaching an above-head marker, for optical tracking, or IMUs or Vive trackers.
  • Counterweight appears to be non-removable, when helmet is used with lighter, mini-iPhones.
  • Counterweight is not tunable (adjustable). It cannot be moved farther from the head for greater leverage, when used with heavier phones: It is not cantilevered.
  • Performer needs to remove helmet to drink water or coffee.

#5 - Capi Helmet

<

Human Dynamo Workshop, the creators of the Capi Helmet, for iPhone, indicate they designed helmets for Weta FX and Faceware Technologies. The company, based in New Zealand, seems to have a slick sense of design and advanced fabrication capabilities. Their portfolio shows prop pieces that were used on set in the filming of a number of movies and television shows. They have also done fine arts pieces, worked on creating interior environments, and have created retail and commercial spaces.

The Capi helmet has a slick appearance and their website makes some broad claims about its capabilities; however, it’s difficult to tell how serious of an offering their product actually is. For one thing, both of the helmets on the website have indicated ‘out of stock’ for quite a while. Additionally, the actual appearance of the Capi helmet shown on the website widely varies. Is it finished in blue, or in red, or is its metal merely unfinished? Does their website show actual photographic images and videos or merely 3D renderings and animations?

Plusses:

  • Intriguing looking design — slightly reminiscent of a wrestling helmet.
  • Interesting concept
  • Designed to fit a wide range of head sizes
  • Breathability claims
  • Helmet adjustment apparently does not require use of tools near the face, judging by the pictures / renderings on their website. (Adjustment details are scant.)
  • Supports use of GoPro and RealSense cameras, in addition to iPhones. (Their website doesn’t actually indicate how non-iPhone cameras are attached and secured.)

Minuses:

  • Their website launched in February 2023. It is difficult to tell ‘how real’ their helmet actually is, or when it might actually be available, since it has continually been listed as ‘out of stock’ or ‘sold out’ for a long time. That would seem to pose a challenging situation for any of their customers who wish to add additional helmets for a production.
  • There are a lot of impressive designs, prototyping, developments, and installation work that Human Dynamo Workshop is involved in. Unfortunately, manufacturing and supporting a professional / prosumer product for sale does not seem to be part of their existing core competencies.
  • Their helmet does not offer a counterweight option; therefore, helmet wearers may experience neck strain or non-natural head movement recording, especially when the helmet is used with heavier iPhones.
  • Their website is short on actual specifications such as weight, washability of foam, availability of replacement foam.
  • Talent cannot drink water or coffee while wearing helmet, due to its U-shaped boom arm.
  • Though their helmet claims to be breathable, the helmet is not an open-crown design. There are parts of the helmet that will trap heat, even if other parts are open to the air.
  • Requires the use of a chin strap, which would need to be tightly fastened to achieve the necessary stability. Chin straps are something that people who wear face mocap helmets find chafing and uncomfortable. Using a chin strap can restrict jaw motions.
  • Website does not mention warranty.
  • Website does not mention availability of spare / replacement padding. Though helmet padding is said to be washable, there is no mention of how that is actually done.
  • The outward facing, non-recessed nuts(s) on the forehead piece look a bit sharp. This might pose a hazard for fellow performers.

#6 - Yanus CAM IPHONE

<

The name of this product is an interesting combination of letters and sounds that might strike some as a bit colorful.

The Yanus Cam iPhone is mostly plastic and includes a U-shaped iPhone support. It includes lights on either side of the camera and two 7.3V batteries to power the lights, as well as a dual charger. Presumably one battery can be kept charging while the other is being used in the helmet. The helmet also includes a counterweight of sorts that can hold one or one or two 200g balance weights (included). The helmet can accept iPhone models 13 through 16.

Cost: $1450, plus $250 for shipping to most destinations

Plusses:

  • Features an open-crown design and temple pieces (reminiscent of FaceCam iPhone HMC).
  • Includes lights with adjustable brightness
  • Includes two optional balance weights
  • 12 month limited warranty.

Minuses:

  • iPhone 12, which has a vastly superior TrueDepth sensor, cannot be used with this helmet.
  • It is mostly made of plastic, a material that flexes where it shouldn’t and doesn’t flex or dampen motion where it should.
  • The plastic helmet minimally conforms to shape of the user’s head; therefore, the ratchet on the helmet needs to be extremely tight for stability.
  • Aside from choice of using one or two weights, the counterweight is not at all tunable or adjustable.
  • Non-adjustable weight position of counterweights does not balance various iPhone models adequately. Essentially, their weight system offers users a choice of no weight, one weight, or two weights. That’s only three choices for a wide range of possible iPhone model weights and boom offsets. Users end up with either too much or too little weight to offset the weight of the phone they are using.
  • Counterweight is not aligned with the iPhone support boom. As a result, it does not impart as much stability as it otherwise could.
  • The dual boom design does not allow the talent to drink water or coffee without removing their helmet, which can cause delays in production.
  • Helmet has a number of pointy or angular edges.
  • The plastic used in the boom arm is potentially less stable than the high-grade motion-damping aluminum alloy boom arm used in iPhone FaceCam HMC.
  • Their website is a bit of a labyrinth, and the English version of the site has more Korean text than is helpful to people who do not read Korean.
  • Website has no mention of spare foam or washability. All users will end up sharing the same foam day after day, which makes for poor hygienics.
  • Battery increases helmet weight, which can decrease user comfort and stability of helmet.
  • Shipping is expensive, and it can take a long time: Shipping a single helmet from S. Korea anywhere in the world, even South Korea, costs $250 and takes up to 14 days.

#7 - Virdyn VDFace Capture

<

The Virdyn VDFace Capture (Shenzhen Omni-In) is a pretty basic helmet plus iPhone holder. The helmet part includes some ventilation holes, it is certainly not an open-crown design. Includes a built in, cantilevered, non-removable 200g counterweight. The offset and the mass of the weight is not adjustable. Supports iPhone X and above.

The helmet has thick foam which appears to be non-removable and non-washable. Users must wear a bicycle-style chinstrap.

The helmet apparently is made from polycarbonate plastic and nylon. The boom is made from aluminum alloy. The helmet comes in two sizes: Large fits heads with a circumference that ranges from 54-62cm. Medium fits heads with a circumference that ranges from 51-59cm.

Virdyn’s website indicates it includes their own VDLiveFC iPhone app, which looks to be based on ARKit’s 52 blend shapes. It seems primarily geared towards simple real-time animation. The app is actually a free download from the iPhone app store, so anyone can use it, apparently without cost. All the text in the app is in Chinese, but users can perform screen captures of the app, then use Google translate to decipher the instructions and menu titles.

Cost: $559 if purchased on Virdyn’s website. $310 plus approximately $14 for shipping if purchased on Alibaba. Shipping takes about a month.

Plusses:

  • Inexpensive
  • Includes cantilevered counterweight which is in the same plane as the boom arm, for greater stability.
  • Includes a one-year warranty.

Minuses

  • Requires use of a chin strap which can be uncomfortable to wear, even though it is made of elastic, (apparently). Use of a chin strap ultimately limits freedom of jaw motion and expression.
  • The elastic of the chin strap will undoubtedly stretch out, over time, eventually needing to be replaced. There is no mention on the website how to obtain or reattach replacement chin straps.
  • The helmet weighs 750g, which is about three times as much as the iPhone HMC, or about 50% more than iPhone HMC plus Counterweight.
  • The offset of the fixed, non-removable counterweight limits the ability to offset the weight of various TrueDepth enabled iPhones. The actual weight of the counterweight is about 20% less than the tunable counterweight on the FaceCam.
  • Closed crown helmet will make the actor’s head feel hot, even with the ventilation holes in the helmet.
  • Foam appears non-removable and non-washable, which raises hygienic concerns when the helmet will be used by more than one performer.
  • It would probably be difficult for actors to drink water or coffee without removing the helmet.
  • Shipping time is particularly long.
  • Working with a company based in China can be challenging if one doesn’t speak Chinese, (or the same dialect of Chinese).
  • Not a good choice for tracking facial expressions during rapid or acrobatic motions, since such conditions would exceed the helmet’s stability capabilities.

#8 - Virdyn VDFace Pro Capture Helmet

<

The design of the VDFace Pro helmet (Shenzhen Omni-In) seems very similar to Noitom’s seemingly discontinued Perception Face Capture Helmet. It has a mount for an iPhone on top of the head and includes two front surface mirrors. The small mirror, close to the phone’s TrueDepth sensor, projects the structured light pattern from the sensor’s LED dot projector onto a larger mirror that is angled towards the face. (The larger mirror is positioned where other iPhone mocap helmets mount their cameras.) The larger mirror bounces the structured light pattern back to the smaller mirror near the TrueDepth sensor, which reflects the pattern back onto the TrueDepth sensor, for tracking of facial expressions.

Unlike the VDFace Capture helmet, which is completely lined with thick foam, their website indicates this helmet includes a piece of patterned foam, although another part of the same page mentions foam of various thicknesses. The helmet cinches in the back, with an elastic strap which compresses the helmet a bit, causing the helmet and foam to grab the head more tightly. There is no indication on the website whether the foam is washable, or replaceable, which raises potential hygienic issues.

Cost: $504.00 if purchased on Virdyn’s website. $388 + $10 shipping at AliExpress. Shipping takes 3 to 4 weeks.

Plusses:

  • Mounting the phone above the head centers the weight of the phone, which eliminates the need for a counterweight.
  • Compared to their VDFace Capture helmet, their Pro Capture Helmet appears to be somewhat more breathable.
  • Unlike the VDFace Capture helmet, their Pro Capture Helmet can accommodate different head sizes. It is unclear what role “sponge pads of different thicknesses to accommodate different head sizes” plays in the role of fit, since the parts list on the website only lists a single sponge pad.

Minuses:

  • Though the website describes the helmet as lightweight, @ 395g, that is still 65% heavier than FaceCam iPhone HMC. Though the FaceCam plus Counterweight weighs about 75% more than this helmet, it is far more stable, and the tunability of the FaceCam’s counterweight does an excellent job balancing the weight of the phone, rather than offsetting that weight above the head. Above-head offsetting probably makes the helmet less stable, less comfortable, and probably affects the performer’s head motion.
  • Performer will probably need to remove helmet to drink water or coffee.
  • Requires use of a chin strap which can be uncomfortable to wear. Use of a chin strap ultimately limits freedom of jaw motion and expression.
  • Although mounting the helmet above the head would might seem to eliminate issues with the offsetting the phone in front of the face, it will ultimately affect head motion since it makes the head heavier. This mounting method can also introduce stability issues when the performer moves quickly.
  • Though the helmet appears to be more breathable than the Virdyn VDFace Capture helmet, it will still trap heat, even with the ventilation holes on the helmet.
  • Working with a company based in China can be challenging if one doesn’t speak Chinese, (or the same dialect of Chinese).
  • Not a good choice for tracking facial expressions during rapid or acrobatic motions, since such conditions would exceed the helmet’s stability capabilities.
  • Shipping time is fairly long

#9 - DIY Motion Capture Helmets

<

There are plenty of ways one can build an iPhone helmet ‘on the cheap’, if one has plenty of time and an old helmet of some sort laying around. You can certainly find a lot of designs and suggestions by Googling ‘DIY mocap helmet’ or searching on Youtube.

Cost: ¢heap

Plusses:

  • Cheap
  • Great for tinkerers or dedicated recyclers with plenty of time

Minuses:

  • Performance and capture results will invariably be lacking, compared to commercially available products.
  • Likely to require uncomfortable chin straps
  • Ultimately heavier than would be ideal
  • Dubious stability
  • Potentially undurable
  • Not useful for fast motions
  • Non-hygienic if shared
  • Effective counterweight is challenging to engineer

#10 - ¢heapest

<

On Aliexpress if you search for some combination of the following: ‘Phone Head Mount Smartphone Strap for Vlog Recording Mobile Phone Holder Outdoor Sports First-person View Video for Iphone’, sold by Electric Hunters Store, there’s a strap-based head mount for a phone.

It looks like it might support portrait mode. Will it work for doing face motion capture with an iPhone? Maybe, maybe not, but it’s ever so cheap: $9.16, with free shipping (for purchases over $10).

Plusses:

  • So cheap!
  • Should arrive in one or two weeks
  • Cheap! You can probably find the necessary change in your couch.
  • If it doesn’t allow portrait mode, you can probably rig some attachment that will facilitate that.
  • You can probably turn it into part of a Halloween costume if it doesn’t fit your requirements for a cheap mocap helmet.

Minuses:

  • Might not be stable
  • Elastic may not support your iPhone very well. Best use case would probably involve iPhone 12 mini or iPhone 13 mini.
  • Elastic will eventually weaken, though anyone who is handy can probably rig their own replacements for the elastic, once it over stretches.

Conclusion:

If you're recording from an iPhone, your best bet for professional quality is going to be our FaceCam iPhone HMC - built by Radical Variance based upon the same technology Standard Deviation developed for super high-end motion capture helmets used in numerous blockbuster movies and AAAA games.

If the FaceCam is out of your price range, you might consider the Rokoko Headrig, however just be mindful of its stability.
