This is a module for the VRCFaceTracking mod that enables you to use the FaceID sensors found on the IPhone X and newer to have face tracking with compatible avatars in VRChat desktop mode.
Drag the VRCFT_Module_LiveLink.dll into your %AppData%\Roaming\VRCFaceTracking\CustomLibs folder
The default port is set to 11111, which is the port LiveLink will use by default. To change this, run the mod once to generate preferences, then change the LiveLinkPort preference under the VRCFT LiveLink category in the config file found at UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg.
There is no way to change the port in the current version
You need an IPhone X/XS/XR or newer, 12.9-inch IPad Pro 3rd gen or newer, or 11-inch IPad Pro 1st gen or newer to make use of this module.
- Install MelonLoader and the VRCFaceTracking mod
- Install this LiveLink module
- Install the app "Live Link Face" by Unreal Engine on your apple device
- Ensure that your apple device is connected to the same network as your computer
- Open Live Link Face on the apple device, and open settings, then tap Live Link at the top
- Add your computer's local IP address here.
and set the port if needed(There is no way to change the port in the current version, so leave it as the default11111) - Return to the main screen and make sure the Live button at the top is green
- Start VRChat in desktop mode, equip a VRCFT-enabled avatar, and enjoy facial tracking!
- Right click, open the properties of the .dll, and check this box if you see it to unblock the file
- Double check to make sure that your apple device and computer are connected to the same network
- Double check the IP address and port number entered in LiveLink match your computer's local IP address and that the port is either left blank or set to
11111 - Check that the IP address enetered is the local IP for the shared network, and not for any other networks your computer may be connected to (e.g. Hamachi, Public IP)
- Ensure that your avatar supports VRCFT, and check in the toggles to make sure it is enabled
- Check your windows network settings, and ensure that the network is set as a private network
If you would like to bring your head movements into VR, and maybe hand movements as well with virtual controllers, check out Driver4VR. I have also worked on a module for opentrack that allows you to utilize the head rotation data from LiveLink to move the virtual headset, though it is not yet published.
