Head-Mounted Photometric Facial Performance Capture

A camera may capture a sequence of images of a face while the face changes. A camera support may cause the field of view of the camera to remain substantially fixed with respect to the face, notwithstanding movement of the head. A lighting system may light the face from multiple directions. A lighting system support may cause each of the directions of the light from the lighting system to remain substantially fixed with respect to the face, notwithstanding movement of the head. Sequential images of the face may be computed as it changes based on the captured images. Each computed image may include least per-pixel surface normals of the face that are calculated based on multiple, separate images of the face. Each separate image may be representative of the face being lit by the lighting system from a different one of the separate directions.

Display

A body has a configuration in which a first ellipse has a first and second focal points and a second ellipse having a third and fourth points are arranged such that the second and third focal points coincide. This body is equivalent to an optical system having an optical path in which light gathered to the first focal point passes through the first focal point, and is reflected by a first concave reflecting surface, being a part of the first ellipse, to go through the second focal point, and then reflected by a second concave reflecting surface, being a part of the second ellipse, to be gathered to the fourth focal point.
