webcammotioncapture-info

Webcam Motion Capture is a downloadable application that uses AI-driven webcam tracking to control 3D avatars without requiring specialized hardware. It provides hand and finger tracking plus head, facial expression, eye gaze/blink, lip sync and upper-body tracking using a computer or smartphone camera. The product targets virtual YouTubers (VTubers), streamers, content creators, and CG/motion-capture workflows who want to record or stream avatar motion without dedicated mocap hardware.

The site notes the project launched in November 2021 and reports more than 38,300 users from 120 countries. The app can stream tracking data to external applications via the VMC protocol and can save motion capture as FBX files for use in Blender, Maya, 3ds Max and other CG tools.

Adding hand tracking to other VTuber apps

Send tracking via VMC protocol to apps that lack hand tracking (e.g., VSeeFace) or to game engines using provided plugins.

Low-spec PC setups

Offload tracking to an iPhone/iPad using the official iWebcamMotionCapture mobile app to reduce CPU/GPU load on computers with limited performance.

Integrations

VMC Protocol

Send real-time tracking data to any app supporting the VMC protocol.

Unity / Unreal Engine

Send tracking data to major game engines using a free plugin.

Face tracking mobile apps

Works with iWebcamMotionCapture (iOS), waidayo, Facemotion3d, iFacialMocap, and VTube Studio (via FaceMocap2VMC) for richer facial expressions.

OBS Studio

Recommended for live streaming and composing avatar video content; supports transparent background workflows.

VRoid Studio

Use VRoid Studio to create VRM avatars for import into Webcam Motion Receiver.

Smartphone webcam apps

Supports iWebcamMotionCapture (iOS) and third-party solutions like DroidCam for using a smartphone as a webcam.

SplitCam (virtual camera)

Benefits

Avoids the need to buy specialized motion-capture hardware—works with a webcam or smartphone camera.
Provides both hand/finger and rich facial/body tracking suitable for VTubers and animation workflows.
Can stream tracking data to external apps and export FBX for integration with standard CG toolchains.
Offers a free trial/use of tracking features with optional subscription for advanced capabilities (UI hiding, external data output).

Limitations

Subscription required to hide UIs and to export/send tracking data to external apps (VMC/FBX).
Performance can be limited by the user's computer; recommended resolutions and using an iPhone/iPad to offload tracking are suggested workarounds.
Some features or workflows require third-party apps or plugins (e.g., VMC-compatible apps, Unity/Unreal plugin, OBS Studio setup).
Accessing the same webcam from two apps simultaneously may not be possible without OS features, a second device, or virtual camera software (SplitCam), and the site notes specific compatibility considerations.
