A new iOS app for Unreal Engine uses your iPhone to capture your facial expressions and animate an onscreen character in real time. Live Link Face is designed to work in both professional game production settings, like a soundstage with actors in full mocap suits, and amaetur ones, such as a single artist at a desk, according to a blog post from Unreal Engine developer Epic Games. The app is available now from Apple's app store. The app uses Apple's augmented reality platform, ARKit, and the iPhone's front-facing TrueDepth camera (introduced on the iPhone X in 2017) to capture facial features and transmit the data to Unreal Engine. The app also captures head and neck movement.

Waymo One is now one. It's been one year since the self-driving taxi service opened for public (but still very limited) rides in a geofenced part of the Phoenix area. Its fleet of Chrysler Pacifica minivans and other autonomous vehicles just hit more than 100,000 rides. To celebrate, Waymo One is now on the App Store, available for download for any iPhone user. But to actually order and ride the robo-taxis in Arizona, you still have to get on a waitlist.

Parents can now download an iPhone app to screen their children for autism. The tool uses the phone's camera to track the child's facial movement as they watch short clips on the screen. Specially-designed coding software detects tell-tale movements in the child's face that are signs of the disorder, which could takes weeks of sessions for trained medical professionals to spot. The app is expected to reignite controversy between the United States Preventive Services Task Force and the American Academy of Pediatrics, which disagree on screening. The USPSTF warns against widespread screening of children for autism, after a review found it leads to more false positives and hydochondria.
