Does RealSense SDK 2.0 inherit PXCFaceModule from SDK 1.0?

Hello Intel, 

Can you tell me if all the functionalities from SDK 1.0 are present in 2.0? Especially the face analysis module like PXCFaceModule?

And which Realsense cameras would be ideal for PXCFaceModule?

I was looking for facial landmark detection in Intel Realsense SDK 2.0, but the only thing that showed up was an archived page from the now-discontinued SDK 1.0

https://software.intel.com/en-us/blogs/2015/01/19/face-tracking-using-the-intel-realsense-sdk-bkms

So I am writing to double check that the functionalities I need are still there before going ahead

There is unfortunately no compatibility between these SDKs. The PXC system was in a Windows-only SDK, whilst RealSense SDK 2.0 is based on a totally different architecture called Librealsense.​

Of the currently available cameras, the PXC-based SDK only supports SR300 and SR305. The best face solution for the 400 Series cameras is a commercial package called Nuitrack that is 40 dollars a year but has a free trial version.

Does nuitrack do facial landmark detection? Or just face location?

Their documentation didn't mention if they have the ability to track detail facial movements.

I am looking for hardware and libraries that can track the finer details of facial movements like brows, lips, and eyes.

Yes, Nuitrack can read facial landmarks.
