Connect to MeowFace

Show how to setup MeowFace for External Tracker App.

MeowFace is a free Android app, to mime iOS’s face tracking function.

Especially it supports same data protocol as iFacialMocap.

In VMagicMirror, you can connect MeowFace as if it is iFacialMocap.

The device requirement is not so clear, but you can check it by just download and try by yourself.

The app is available in Google Play.

MeowFace aims to mime iOS’s face tracking, but some of the feature is not supported.

Supported:

Not Supported:

Also note that, you will need to adjust facial input parameters in MeowFace and the process might be a bit difficult.

Start MeowFace and see the device’s IP address at the top.

Put the device where the device’s camera can capture your face.

Go to PC and Ex Tracker tab > Connect to App > select iFacialMocap.

Then input the IP address shown in iOS device, and click Connect to complete connection.

IMPORTANT

If you seem to fail to connect, please see below iFacialMocap troubleshoot, especially Q1, Q2 and Q3.

Though the apps are different, the connection failure causes are almost common.

Also please check if an anti-virus software disturbs connection between PC and iOS device.

If your avatar looks wrong orientatoin or face motion does not start, execute Cralibrate Face Pose to calibrate.

When avatar’s facial control is not going well, see MeowFace and scroll facial parameters, to adjust Weight and Max values.

For example, blink parameters are shown as eyeBlink_L and eyeBlink_R.

If you close the eyes but avatar does not, then increase Weight for them.

NOTE

MeowFace is much newer app than iFacialMocap, and there might be further updates. Please check the app newest how-to when needed.
