Motion sensor camera prototype from the collaboration between faceware and Cloud Imperium Games.

The Faceware Motion Sensor was a motion sensing camera collaboration between StarCitizen:Faceware Technologies and Cloud Imperium Games.<ref></ref><ref>Star Citizen: Faceware Announcement, Star Citizen, YouTube, 26 August 2017</ref>

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>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>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.
