## Summary

This video reviews the new webcam tracking support added to VBridger, a plugin previously known for its excellent iPhone tracking. The creator tests both Nvidia and MediaPipe tracking options, comparing them to standard VTube Studio tracking and highlighting setup steps, performance, and quirks. The video concludes that VBridger is now the best tracking solution for both webcam and iPhone users, despite some downsides like cost and extra setup.

### Key Points

- **New Webcam Options** [0:49] — VBridger now offers two webcam tracking options: Nvidia tracking (requires RTX card) and MediaPipe (works on any webcam).
- **Nvidia Tracking Setup** [1:14] — For Nvidia tracking, you need to download the free VTube Studio Nvidia Broadcast Tracker from Steam.
- **Nvidia Tracking Performance** [1:28] — Nvidia tracking is smoother and more accurate than standard VTube Studio webcam tracking out of the box.
- **Smoothing Fix** [1:44] — To fix jittery movements, increase smoothing for each parameter in VBridger's parameter list.
- **Glasses Compatibility** [2:16] — Nvidia tracking works perfectly with glasses, with no loss in tracking quality.
- **MediaPipe Eye Issues** [2:43] — MediaPipe tracking has issues with eyes and eyebrows, which can be fixed by linking their movements.
- **MediaPipe Mouth Tracking** [3:00] — MediaPipe mouth tracking is not as good, but can be improved by using microphone for mouth inputs.
- **Microphone Mouth Input Setup** [3:58] — To use microphone mouth input, load the 'VBridger VSM AR Kit' file and adjust mouth sensitivity and audio delay (start with -500ms).
- **Microphone Input Disadvantage** [4:52] — The main disadvantage of microphone mouth input is that it won't track smiles or frowns while talking.
- **Overall Verdict** [5:06] — VBridger is now the best tracking solution for both webcam and iPhone, but costs extra, requires an additional window, and needs more parameter setup.

## Transcript

earlier this year I released a video
about the different tracking types for
2D vtubers and we have a big update to
go over here I mentioned a plugin called
V Bridger which was currently the best
tracking type but they recently added
webcam support we're going to test the
webcam support and see how it holds up
so I'm currently using my iPhone for the
tracking here and you can see my V
Bridger window on the top left here I
mentioned in my previous video that this
is the current best tracking that we can
get using iPhone and V Bridger gives you
very smooth tracking very accurate
tracking and also allows you to use the
extra key forms on areas such as your
mouth so we can do things like this
which you ordinarily can't do with the
other tracking types let's go ahead and
look at our webcam options now so to get
to the webcam options in V Bridger we
need to go to this drop- down menu and
our two webcam options are at the very
bottom here it's Nvidia tracking and
media pipe and video tracking requires
you to have an RTX video card so if you
don't have one of those media pipe is
the option for you we're going to start
off by looking at Nvidia tracking so
here is the Nvidia tracker and this is
currently using my webcam an important
thing to note if you're planning to use
the RTX tracking you need to have
downloaded the vtu studio Nvidia
broadcast tracker which is free on the
steam store if a Tracker isn't working
for you you may need to go into V
Bridger settings and locate your vtube
studio so out of the box the tracking is
already a lot better than v b tracking
through vtube Studio I'll put up a
comparison on the screen real fast right
now you may notice that your movements
may be a little bit more jittery a good
way to fix this is by going into V
Bridger itself you can see the parameter
list on the top right here simply go
through these select them and you can
turn up the smoothing which will remove
some of the Jetta using webcam tracking
through V Bridger you may be required to
turn up the smoothing on quite a few of
these parameters one of the biggest
advantages with using V Bridger with the
Nvidia tracking is that we can still use
a lot of our extra parameters for
example we have a lot of extra
parameters set up in our mouth such as
shrugging and puckering and good news
for my glasses users out there I'm
currently wearing my glasses right now
and as you can see there's not really
any difference between when I wasn't
wearing my glasses and when I'm
currently using my glasses it's kind of
wild to see webcam tracking with
completely lossless quality for glasses
users next up let's take a little look
at media pipe you don't need to download
anything extra to use media pipe through
V Bridger so this should just work
Straight Out of the Box uh one thing I'm
noticing right off the bat is that my
eyes are behaving a little bit funky and
my eyebrows as well if you are planning
to use media pipe and these things
bother you you can link your eyebrows
and your eye movements together so that
they're not looking a little bit
lopsided all the time another another
big thing I do notice as well is that my
mouth tracking is not as good as the
other two there is a easy fix for this
however which I'll go over in just a
moment and much like with vrtx tracking
you are going to have to turn up the
smoothness on the parameters here
however much like the RTX tracking the
big Advantage we do have here is that we
can use our extra parameters again so we
can do all the fancy things with our
mouth one thing I do notice with the
media pipe is that it doesn't track the
shrugging very well and it doesn't track
the jaw very well however in comparison
with the base vtube Studio media pipe
tracking this is quite a bit of an
upgrade so now I'm going to test it with
my glasses on and I'm already kind of
noticing that it's struggling with my
eye blanks you may be able to get around
this by tweaking the parameters but your
eyes are always going to look a little
bit funky so another update that V
Bridger added that will help with the
lip sync especially on your media pipe
tracking here is that it now allows you
to use your microphone for mouth inputs
to access this we need to press load and
you're going to need to load the file
which says V Bridger VSM AR kit so now
when I talk my mouth forms are going to
be overwritten by the microphone you may
need to tweak this in your parameter
settings cuz as you can see my mouth is
opening up way too wide so I turned down
my mouth sensitivities and as you can
see now it's a little bit more realistic
another thing to note with this mouth
tracking is that you're going to need to
turn down your audio delay otherwise
your mouth is going to be very off sync
of your audio the recommended amount for
this mouth tracking is actually minus
500 milliseconds however I recommend
going in and actually trying it out and
see what works for you specifically the
main disadvantage to using this is that
we can't really emote very well when
we're talking since our mouth face
tracking is being overwritten but by our
microphone it won't track your smiling
or frowning whilst you're
talking so here are my overall Thoughts
with this new update V Bridger is now
the best form of tracking that we can
get for both webcam and iPhone please do
note that there are some downsides to
using it for one it costs a little bit
extra than just using the vtube studio
base it will be an extra window to run
whilst you're using your tracking which
might make things a little bit more
Messier on your PC or may slow things
down on lower end PCS plus one of the
main benefits of V Bridger being the
extra parameters means a little bit more
work on your end or your rigger's end to
get all of those extra parameters set up
