This app uses ARKit on devices that support ARKit facial tracking, and MediaPipe with the front camera on other supported devices.

To get depth data from Apple's API, access to the camera is required. This application is only used for communication with PCs within the same network and does not send information to third parties. TrueDepth is not required on supported devices. Tracking accuracy depends on the device and capture conditions. Camera access permission is required.
