Features

• Two levels allow you to first understand the facial muscles and how they control the face, while the second level allows you to see which muscles are active in certain expressions such as anger, irony, rejection, pain, etc.
• Ability to control the transparency of the skull and muscle layers of the face
• Toggle between a line drawing of the face and a fully rendered sketch.  Level II also gives you examples of expressions in real photos of the face.

Limitations

• Some of the translations from Spanish to English make it difficult to follow descriptions at times
• Definitely not for beginners in anatomy
• Would be great if it also identified the bony landmarks on the skull to help follow the descriptions
