Abstract
A step-by-step technique is described for tracking and recording, in real time, the lip dynamics of a patient and integrating them into a 3D virtual patient representation using facial trackers and motion engine software programs. The main advantage of this technique is that it enables capturing of the lip movements of the patient in real time; therefore, the lip movements are not simulated from a previously recorded video of the patient using animation software programs.
