As of Apirl 2025 the app is updated and received very welcomed improvements. The app has a lot of potential!2 found this helpful
I love this software, but you can see that with the hours on record. My setup is as follows: --- Nexigo N980P webcam (~$60 at this time) The specs you want is 60 fps and higher fov this one is 120 degrees. More fps probably won't help because your cpu needs to process the frames. --- My cpu is an old i7-4770k which gives me ~18-24 fps. Good enough for motion gestures, but camera movements require a bit more fps. Sometimes, I use a wireless mouse to help navigate the difficult areas. --- I've seen Graysfordays' stream and his camera looks extremely smooth at ~44 fps (I believe). I'll update when my cpu improves.
previously purchased this but no matter what i tried it would not launch
This software is amazing. It takes a while to learn how to use it, but the possibilities are endless. Great tool for the price. Its not perfect, but its still being developed so thats cool.
Even at this early stage, this application is great. I followed Masonx's World of Warcraft setup on youtube, as well as Graysfordays Rooms setup Video. I cant even begin to imagine where this is going!
Great product! Lighting and camera positioning are very important and it takes some time setting up the correct pose sensitivity, but with some patience its well worth it. Running around in game has never been more immersive.
