Face Landmarks

In addition to tracking the center of the head (known as the Origin), you can use Face Landmarks to track content from various places on the user’s face. These landmarks will remain accurate, even as the user’s expression changes.

The available landmark positions available are:

Attachment point locations from the front and side of the face

NOSE-BASE	G
LIP-TOP	H
