Oh damn.

Yeah.. it is already potentially creepy and dangerous, there's no evidence it's been abused yet, but it's also become a fundamental part of how streamed wireless VR headsets work and huge part of how you control headset.

We've already had eye tracking on expensive VR headsets for more than a decade...

I think there might be something wrong with the TPose animation itself actually now one of the avatars uploaded doesn't switch automatically and is broken...

NEVER MIND, I'm T-Posing for everyone else with this, it only works locally...

the frog VRChat avatar is on other places now so heres a turntable and links to places you can get emmmm!!!!!

I just discovered that you can have different T-Poses in VRChat for fullbody and halfbody using the T-Pose animator and the TrackingType parameter!

Straight spine for FBT and raptor posture for everyone else!

Been silent for a while, so Just gonna put an update for what I'm up to.

I'm in the middle of developing my next avatar, the Ottala!

Trying to have this one ready for Furality!

aaaaaaaaaa pic by @strype.bsky.social commissioned by @ashleywylde.bsky.social thank you so much!!!

You could try out FoxyFace to test eye-tracking, it works with a webcam.

H.264 & H.265 is licensing & patent encumbered.

You can't use that special part of the chip without paying a fee (unless you're on Linux).

Aw.. thanks anyway.

CE access & verification doesn't give you access to age-gated instances (there is a canny open).

I'm asking if the Creator Economy access could count as a 3rd option on y'alls end. I'm not sure if it's exposed in the API though, but it's pretty easy to tell looking at an avatar or world store.

eww python stinky, but actually just use uv:

uv venv
uv pip install --requirements FoxyFace/requirements.txt
uv pip install onnxruntime
uv run Main.py

I think, all systems are go for finally getting face tracking setup on a lot of my avatars :>

I don't have face & eye cameras rigged up on my headset yet, but FoxyFace has been a godsend:

I asked this in the Discord a while ago and it seemed like it was up to VRChat to fix (I was under the impression that y'all were using the built-in VRC age gating.)

Wait, can VRChat Creator Economy sellers be counted as age verified since that caries an 18+ requirement?

We already had to hand over tax info and other even more sensitivity PII to another 3rd party to get verified for the CE. I'd rather not have even MORE companies handling my PII...

This would probably compress really well, especially with color indexed formats like PNG or GIF, since there's fewer colors.

I meant "otherwise" or "over-all" well meaning. The bill is supposed to stop those AI girlfriend apps, but they slipped this shit in there.

It's SB1493 if you want to read it

Ugghhh, Tennessee state senate just introduced a bill that would make it illegal to have a video game NPC that can "discuss topics related to mental health, self-harm, or sexually explicit content"...

The bill feels very well meaning, but that's not gonna fly with the first amendment.

The song is "Only Hope Breaks the Dark Waves" by Saba Alizadeh

I'm gonna come out say, this apparently controversial take, but I really like the mixture of timbres the music has. It fits.
