Chris Skaggs discusses Redwall game features

Chris Skaggs of Soma Games recently participated in an interview with Intel in which he discussed a bit about the upcoming Redwall: The Warrior Reborn game.
"We're very interested in taking the RealSense™ technology, especially the new facial tracking, and being able to map a player's face right onto the character. So if you're playing a mouse or a squirrel or a mole, you'll be able to see your expressions and you'll be able to voice the lines. And it'll show up in the game on the character. So we can rig the character's face to move with your face. And we think that'll be a big play for these characters that people really love."
"RealSense™ technology" refers to Intel® RealSense™, which you can read about in more detail here.
Soma Games also uploaded an image to their Facebook page showing what this may look like (see thumbnail).
