The Basic Setup feature assists new users of AvaKit with their device configuration and tracking method setup. During the first launch, users are required to complete the Basic Setup process. Additionally, users can press F11 at any time to re-initiate this setup.

Click the Get started button to begin the Basic Setup.

Select the tracking methods to be used for face tracking and body tracking, respectively.

1. Webcam Tracking, Perfect sync(Webcam)

Webcam Tracking, Perfect Sync (Webcam) uses a webcam connected by the user to perform face tracking. It is the most recommended option for users who are not familiar with avatar tracking.

<aside> 🚧 For virtual cameras, the available cameras are limited, and current stability is low; therefore, their use is not recommended.

After selecting Webcam Tracking, you will configure the type of camera you want to use, the camera resolution, and the FPS.

1. Select the Camera Device: Choose the camera device you wish to use.
2. (Optional) Set the Resolution: Configure the resolution for the selected device. This setting determines how clearly the camera captures the user. A higher resolution can more accurately capture the user’s movements.
3. (Optional) Set the Frames Per Second (FPS): Configure the FPS for the selected device. This setting determines how many images the camera captures per second. A higher FPS allows for more frames of movement to be captured, resulting in smoother motion representation.

Once you have completed your desired camera settings, tracking will be executed with those configurations.

<aside> 🚨

Perfect Sync (Facial) only works correctly with avatars that have 52 blendshapes applied. If you use an avatar without these blendshapes, issues like the avatar’s mesh becoming distorted may occur
