Introduction
We strongly recommend using your iPhone as your facial tracking camera. iPhone X and higher have a lens that measures depth in addition to the visual landmarks. In all cases, using your iPhone as a tracker reduces the strain on your PC, leaving more resources for your stream and games. Use the Animaze App on your iPhone to pair with your PC by following the steps below. For those without an iPhone or interested in comparing the iPhone experience to the webcam experience, learn more about using your webcam below.
