Face Landmark, new, free and open source. It looks at a webcam video of your face, automatically extracts and cleans up the 'blend shapes' needed for facial animation in 3D, then drops these to a simple .CSV text file (suitable for LiveLink, in this case).

Open source, and I'd suggest it's a prime candidate for adaptation to do simple "your webcam to Poser" facial motion capture, which would greatly enhance the appeal of Poser. In fact, since the source Face_Landmarker.py and face_geometry.py Python files are available, one might theoretically rework it to output 'straight to Poser format'?
