With character-driven games, facial animation is more important than ever – and modern games need vast amounts of it. The scripts for some of this year's AAA releases span thousands of pages (compared to just 120 for an average Hollywood movie), and every line needs to be matched with a believable performance to keep the player immersed.

When the likes of Epson Moverio and Google Glass were released a few years ago, the idea of an augmented reality overlay built into your glasses, projecting words, images and information on the environment around you captured our imaginations. But the ambitious technology had little to offer the average consumer, while the functional designs of AR-ready glasses are yet to be seen strutting down any catwalks. Even the curves of the more stylish Snapchat Spectacles , which come with a built-in video camera to capture social media fodder, have yet to take off in the way many had thought they would. Still, there are plenty of manufacturers looking to put the potential of smart glasses to new and innovative uses. Last year we reported on plans by the UK’s National Theatre to use the Epson Moverio BT-350 glasses in a more arts-focused setting, as part of an initiative to improved accessibility – and those plans have finally come ...
