Mova Contour is a multi-camera high resolution facial capture system originally developed by former Apple Computer engineer Steve Perlman.
The system captures images which are then used to generate dense per frame surface reconstructions.
It then generates a temporally coherent mesh by tracking an invisible random pattern of fluorescent makeup that is applied to the capture surface.
Mova technology was first used in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for building a realistic 3D face model of Brad Pitt.
