Abstract
A virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) head mounted display (HMD) includes multiple image capture devices positioned within and on the HMD to capture portions of a face of a user wearing the HMD. Multiple image capture devices are included within the HMD to capture different portions of the face of the user within the HMD, and one or more other image capture devices are positioned to capture portions of the face of the user external to the HMD. Captured images from various image capture devices may be communicated to a console or a controller that generates a graphical representation of the user's face based on the captured images.
