Melinda Ozel's ARKit-to-FACS cheat sheet (updated 19 Feb 2026) maps each ARKit shape to FACS action units and muscles, flags ambiguous rows (e.g. mouthClose as AU8 'but see notes') and lists FACS units it says ARKit lacks (including AU11, AU13, AU23, AU38). Curator qualifications: Single practitioner's expert reading; the FaceShift confirmation is the author's report. Sensors and PLOS citations (E5, E6) handled under D4-05. Text only; no face tracking, rig or classifier run. Limitations: Commercial practitioner site; live page. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
