Ideas for Hybrid unit

This week we had to present our idea for the hybrid unit, the idea I have is based around the using digital technology to assist face recognition and social communication in people with the ASD condition. My objective is to develop a visual program that can be used to facilitate the recognition of facial expressions and social nuances.
The program will start at a basic level and progress in levels to more complex expressions and meanings. The problem is getting the software to function accurately, and to generate the 3d facial model. Research into face recognition aids has mainly been video based using a selection process and using actors. My idea will be to progress this further into a 3d model form. I have to figure out exactly how as yet.

If anyone can offer possible technical advice it will be much appreciated.
