iFacialMocap for iPhone

Product summary

iFacialMocap is an iOS application from DevelopW LLC that performs live facial motion capture and streams that data to 3D software running on a PC. It lets creators drive facial animations in real time from an iPhone (or compatible iPad) and is commonly used with desktop CG tools and VTuber/VRM utilities.

Recommended alternative

• FamApp — Spend with UPI & Card Free

Supported integrations and host software

• Blender, Unity, Autodesk Maya, 3ds Max — works with major 3D packages to drive BlendShapes or ShapeKeys in real time.
• HANA_APP, Luppet, VMagicMirror — compatible with popular VRM and VTuber programs for avatar playback and streaming.

Key capabilities

• Capture fidelity: supports up to 52 morph targets (BlendShapes/ShapeKeys) for detailed facial animation.
• Live VRM avatar display: load and animate VRM characters directly from the app.
• Local-only transmission: motion data is sent over your local network and is not relayed to external services.
• Privacy-focused use of sensors: the app uses the camera image and depth information only to compute and transmit motion data; it does not save this data on the device.
• Hardware requirement: requires iOS devices with Face ID support.

How to connect and start capturing

1. Open iFacialMocap on your iPhone (or compatible iPad).
2. Launch the iFacialMocap PC utility on your desktop.
3. Enter the iPhone’s local IP address into the PC app to establish the connection.
4. Once linked, map your model’s BlendShapes/ShapeKeys and begin streaming facial motion in real time.

Privacy and network notes

• Data remains within your local network; iFacialMocap does not transmit capture information to third parties.
• No capture files are stored on the iOS device by the app — camera and depth inputs are used only to generate the motion stream.

Compatibility and further details

• Supported devices include recent iPhone models and certain iPad models equipped with Face ID hardware. For a complete, up-to-date list of compatible devices and system requirements, consult the developer’s official website.
