VRL Cam

Features
Read full description

VRL Cam turns your iPhone or iPad into a camera for virtual production. Move the device and your shot moves too, with full position-and-rotation tracking sent live to your studio software. Your VRM avatar shows up framed right in the viewfinder. It runs on ARKit world tracking and was built for iOS 26, so you get smooth pose data with very little lag, whether you're feeding a VTuber rig, a virtual set, or a previs shot. CAMERA TRACKING Full 6-DoF world tracking, so position and rotation both stay locked to your room. The field of view comes from the actual camera lens, not a guess. Tap to set a world anchor and shoot relative to it. On-screen joysticks let you offset a virtual rig for dolly, truck, and boom moves, and the dial modes give you a few different feels to shoot in. STREAM TO YOUR STUDIO VMC and OSC output drives any VMC receiver with camera and lens data. FreeD output covers virtual sets and tracking systems that expect the standard protocol. Both run at once, locked to every tracked frame, and you set the IP and ports to match your network. NDI VIDEO Send the camera feed over NDI to switchers, OBS, and your compositing tools. Pull an NDI source back in as a viewfinder overlay so everything on the network stays in sync. LIVE AVATAR IN AR Load a VRM avatar and watch it composite into your scene as you shoot. The look is cel-shaded, with outlines, soft shading, and a contact shadow on the floor. ARKit face tracking moves the expressions, and models that support perfect-sync get the full set. You can also receive bone and blendshape data to mirror your studio rig live, play VRMA animations, and ground the avatar with a faint floor reflection. VRL LINK Link a remote performer over the internet. Their motion and voice drive the avatar on your device while you shoot, and your program video and audio go back to them, all through our hosted relay. VRL Link is an optional auto-renewable subscription (monthly, or yearly with Pro, which adds a commercial-use license). Every other feature is free, with nothing locked behind a purchase. RECORDING Record takes straight from the device. The orientation locks for the length of a take, so turning the phone partway through won't flip the shot. You can save pose and lens clips and replay the moves later. DESIGNED FOR iOS 26 Native SwiftUI with the Liquid Glass interface. Tuned for iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and iPad Pro. Everything ships off, so you turn on only what a given shoot needs. If you're a VTuber, an indie filmmaker, or running a virtual-production stage, VRL Cam gives you a real camera you can pick up, track, and stream without any extra hardware.

Turn any photo into a mask you can actually wear. AryaVRCam tracks your face 60 times a second and maps a face onto yours in real time โ€” your friend's photo, a statue, a painting, your dog. Blink, smile, talk: it follows. Then hit record and keep the result. WEAR ANY FACE Pick a photo from your library and AryaVRCam finds the eyes, nose, and mouth and fits it to your face. Three fitting modes handle different source images โ€” including a full 3D head reconstruction for photos that deserve it. Statues, cartoons, and pets work too: drag the landmarks into place yourself. BUILD YOUR OWN MASKS The mask creator gives you the controls that matter โ€” feathering, eye holes, forehead coverage, and colour grading โ€” with a live preview on your own face. Save the ones you like and they're a tap away forever. LIVING PHOTOS Pin your real eyes and mouth anywhere on a picture and it starts talking. Drag and pinch them into position, save the setup as a character, and wear it again whenever you want. CHANGE THE ROOM Swap your background for a colour, a gradient, a photo, or a looping video โ€” no green screen. Or hide yourself entirely and let just the mask float there. RECORD IT PROPERLY Video and sound, captured together and kept in sync. Review the take on a loop before you decide, then save straight to Photos or throw it away and go again. PROCESSED ON YOUR IPHONE Face tracking, mask rendering, and video encoding all run on-device. Your photos and recordings are never uploaded โ€” there's no account to make and no server to send them to. ARYAVRCAM PRO An optional subscription removes all ads. Everything else works the same either way, and saving a recording never requires watching one. AryaVRCam Pro is $1.99 per month and renews automatically until cancelled. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and your account is charged for renewal within 24 hours of the end of that period. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings after purchase. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://ganeshp0001.github.io/facecam-site/privacy-policy.html REQUIREMENTS AryaVRCam needs the TrueDepth camera used by Face ID โ€” iPhone X or later. It does not work on iPhone SE or iPad.
