APS Sidekick vs Unreal VCam

The iOS Sidekick allows artists and animators to add ARKit facial capture to VR avatars when playing VR MocapFusion. The Sidekick app streams facial expression blendshapes data to VR MocapFusion for adding real time facecapture to avatars. With SteamVR full body tracking it is possible to record full body avatar motion capture with face capture and can be exported to Blender. Or use the face capture when live streaming. With several plugins available for live streaming using Unreal Engine, Unity or Blender. This app requires running VR MocapFusion on a PC to receive the motion capture data and can be downloaded from Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1540000/Mocap_Fusion__VR/

Virtual production-ready cinematography in real time from your iPad or iPhone -- Unreal VCAM for Unreal Engine. Translate traditional filmmaking concepts like camera lensing, framing, and movement into Unreal Engine’s digital realm. Record realistic camera takes that can be further fine-tuned in editor to create elegant final compositions when assembled in Unreal Engine’s Sequencer. Review early set environments through the lens, previs shot cameras before a shoot, capture real takes during principal photography, create a new shot in post, or all of the above. Camera movement via ARKit: • Stream out the positional and rotational data live to an Unreal Engine instance via Live Link over a network. • Drive the 3D camera within the real time environment. • Record the camera data via Take Recorder for use in Sequencer. Stream the camera view live from Unreal Engine: • Visualize the shot on the iPad or iPhone with accurate depth of field. • Modify camera parameters such as lens focus, iris, and zoom with immediate feedback. • Review previously recorded takes and store bookmarks to interesting locations within the world. Timecode support for multi-device synchronization: •Select from the iPhone system clock, an NTP server, or use a Tentacle Sync to connect with a master clock on stage.
