BioWare Corp. is casting to get "heads" for their future games. But will that also ensure that we also get a rich variety of facial expressions? The article from BBC says nothing about it and neither does the BioWare Corp. website.
It seems like it's all about getting new wrap-around pictures of faces rather than bits of video. Too bad - it could be cool to see what actual facial expressions from the real world would be perceived as in a game world. Maybe other players would actually be able to understand what you're trying to tell them with your body language.
