VRChat Adds Native Face Tracking

CONFIRMED

The NewsHive View

On 23 Oct, UploadVR reported that VRChat had added native face-tracking support in open beta. A later report said the support operates at the SDK level for avatars and is available through the Open Beta client and Avatars SDK beta. The feature remains in beta.

Impact is 40%. Avatar creators gain native SDK-level face-tracking support, and VRChat users can access it through the Open Beta client. The beta release limits its immediate reach.

Watch whether VRChat moves face tracking beyond the Open Beta client and Avatars SDK beta or revises the implementation during testing.
