Installation and First Setup

Let's make sure you're ready for further installation

  1. You've connected a camera/webcam to your computer.

If you don't have a webcam, you can use a phone or another computer as a camera. You can find instructions here.

  1. You've found an avatar that supports face tracking or head rotation.

You can find a test avatar for checking face tracking and head rotation here.
Instructions on how to find avatars can be found here.

  1. The most important step is to make sure that you have enabled OSC in the avatar settings and enabled tracking of individual parts of the face/head; by default, this is all turned off.
