In the FB video, I think the facial expressions were like emoticons: they had to be manually invoked. This approach could do it automatically in realtime, by mapping the facial movements onto a cartoon avatar (probably easier than onto the real face).

Interesting, do you have a source for that info, or is that a guess?

Watching the video the eyebrow movements look a bit twitchy, I'd assumed they were face-tracking them. I have no supporting evidence beyond watching the video, so I'd be interested to know more details either way.
