FaceTrackNoIR OSC Tracker Plugin 2.0

FaceTrackNoIR OSC Tracker Plugin

The FaceTrackNoIR OSC Tracker Plugin is an add-on for FaceTrackNoIR that lets you receive head‑pose data over a network using the Open Sound Control (OSC) protocol. It converts incoming OSC messages into a 6‑DoF tracker source for FaceTrackNoIR, so you can drive head tracking in games and simulators using phones, wearables, creative‑coding tools, or custom scripts.

Key features

• 6‑DoF support: yaw, pitch, roll, X, Y, Z
• Configurable UDP port and OSC address patterns
• Axis mapping, scaling, inversion, and offsets
• Optional smoothing and stabilization via FaceTrackNoIR’s filtering pipeline
• Low‑latency operation over localhost or LAN

Typical use cases

• Use a smartphone IMU app that outputs OSC as a wireless head tracker
• Stream pose data from TouchDesigner, Max/MSP, Unity/Unreal, or Python
• Integrate DIY sensors or mocap pipelines that publish OSC

How to get started

• Install the plugin and restart FaceTrackNoIR
• Select “OSC Tracker” as the tracker source in FaceTrackNoIR
• Set your UDP port and address mappings to match your OSC sender
• Start your OSC sender, verify incoming values, then fine‑tune scaling/smoothing

Requirements

• FaceTrackNoIR on Windows
• Local network access with UDP allowed on the chosen port
• An OSC‑capable sender that publishes head‑pose data

Notes

• The plugin receives and maps OSC data; it does not compute pose by itself
• For best results, use a stable network and consistent sender update rates
