VRChat has no native face tracking integration,
VRCFaceTracking is a open-source program that bridges your face-tracking hardware with VRChat.
VRChat has no native face tracking hardware integration,
which means there must be an intermediary software accessing face tracking data from the hardware source then sending it to VRC via OSC as avatar parameters.
VRCFaceTracking fulfills this intermediary role, not only reading data and repackaging it as OSC messages for VRChat, but
morphing the input data into its own unified face tracking standard, thus acting as a Roseta Stone between face tracking hardware and VRChat avatars.
VRCFaceTracking works by the concept of "modules", which are add-on files that let the program access eye and face tracking data from different sources.
morphing the input data into its own unified face tracking standard, effectively acting as a Roseta Stone between face tracking hardware and VRChat avatars.
VRCFaceTracking supports many different, community-made input "modules", which are add-on files that let the program access eye and face tracking data from different sources.
