Disney’s projection tech turns actors’ faces into nightmare fuel
Makeup Lamps tracks an actor's movements without using the facial markers common in motion capture, then it displays any color or texture the actor wants by adjusting the lighting.

And all of it is done in real-time.
A similar technology was used earlier this year during Lady Gaga's performance at the Superbowl.
