While facial motion capture can work with almost any webcam, In order to convey the best [[StarCitizen:Face Over Internet Protocol]] (FOIP) experience, Faceware started developing the Faceware Motion Sensor designed specifically for the facial tracking of players.<ref>[https://youtu.be/REUAt0OO-2A?feature=shared Star Citizen: Faceware Announcement], Star Citizen, YouTube, 26 August 2017</ref>

The Faceware Motion Sensor has gone through dozens of iterations and over a hundred different sensors have been tested.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20181218162132/https://facewaretech.com/motionsensor/ Faceware Motion Sensor Update], facewaretech.com, October 2018, archived</ref>

No mention of the product has been made by either CIG or Faceware since late 2018, and the Faceware Motion Sensor is therefore considered unofficially abandoned.
