Read full description

FACEMOTION3D captures facial expressions and head movements with the camera on your iPhone or iPad, helping you create animations for 3D characters. On devices that support ARKit face tracking, such as iPhone X, you can use Apple ARKit for high-precision facial tracking. Devices without ARKit face tracking support can also track facial movements using Google MediaPipe and the front camera. Connect to DAZ Studio, Maya, Unity, Unreal Engine, or Blender in real time to bring your expressions and movements to 3D characters on your PC. FACEMOTION3D also works with many PC applications that support VRM avatars, letting you control your character's expressions and head movements in real time. Transfer motion recorded in the app to compatible PC software and apply it as animation, or export it in FBX format. You can also import VRM models and animate your characters within the app. To connect to PC software, install the appropriate receiver plugin, script, or add-on, or configure the connection settings in that software. When connecting over a network, make sure your iPhone or iPad and PC are on the same network. For detailed instructions and information about compatible software, visit the official website: https://www.facemotion3d.net/ Face tracking is processed on your device and requires permission to access the camera. Information captured by the camera is used for face tracking, the in-app display, recording and export, and sending motion data to the connected PC. When you use the recording or saving features, data such as captured motion, recorded audio, videos of the camera feed, and screen recordings are saved on your device.

This is legacy of a feudal lord Chousokabe Motochika's castle. The name is Urado. It was only remains at present, but I reappeared from a record. It was made for sightseeing promotion in a Kouchi prefecture. It's just an app for wandering around.
