Greetings everyone.
I know I am a fairly new player, with little experience and knowledge, and I am not even sure I am posting this the right place, please correct me if I am not.
Anyway, let me get to my point.

I heard someone talk about the door in the Captains quarters, and that it might end up leading to a meeting room? I don't know if this is true, but if it is, I just wanted to share an idea with the people and CCP.
See, if this will lead to a meeting room, where you can have, lets say, Corporation meetings, as an example, wouldn't it be awesome, if your character followed your facial expressions?

I have been following this project called FaceRig, and when I heard about the meeting room, I thought: wow! What if those two worked together?!
FaceRig is a project these guys are making, that only needs a webcam and a microphone, with that, the avatar will follow your movements and expressions, and talk when you talk. You can change the voice (a feature already in EVE) but in combination with the moving avatar (or in EVE: character/toon), it could make meetings way more awesome and even somewhat realistic.

Here's some links to FaceRig, for those who wants to have a look at it, before stating their opinion.

I think it will be a lot of work to implement it, never said it wouldn't be.
However, I personally think it would be worth it. It would be an awesome feature to the game.

Using massive amounts of development time on a non-gameplay feature only about 0.5% of the playerbase will end up using?

Sounds good to me!

Point taken.
I understand that only a small percentage of the EVE Online players would actually use the feature, but even so, I think it would be an amazing addition to the game, if they are going to make said meeting room sometime in the future.

And well, maybe they could find something else to use it for, besides just the meeting room? I don't know, it was just an idea I had. Thanks for your input though. :D

love the idea, can't see this happening any time soon even if they integrate with a 3rd program, will be fun to mess around with or making videos but thats about it. it will be one of these little extras to do when board, like the station ship ship counter.

I want this in game, not going to use it other then pull faces.

CCP would probably do something like this if they ever finished the stations and had extra time and resources.

Thank you for your reply ioh :D
And yeah, it's probably not something they would work on right away, but I'd still love to see it in the game. :D
