options v4l2loopback exclusive_caps=1 card_label="OBS Virtualcam,Iriun Webcam"
  1. Reboot your computer.
  2. Connect your phone to your PC using Iriun Webcam.
  3. Start face and eye tracking using the OpenSeeFace tracking script:

cd ~/OpenSeeFace source venv/bin/active python facetracker.py -c 9 -W 1280 -H 720 --discard-after 0 --scan-every 0 --no-3d-adapt 1 --max-feature-updates 900 --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 11573

  2. Start OBS and its virtual camera by clicking Start Virtual Camera.
  3. To add your avatar to OBS, add a window capture and select VSeeFace Window.
  4. Add a Color Key Filter to the VSeeFace window to make the background transparent.
