[0:00] so you're wondering
[0:02] what is the best tracking option for a
[0:04] live.tv tuber in 2023 well look no
[0:08] further in today's video we're going to
[0:10] be going through all of the different
[0:11] options that you have in vtube studio
[0:14] right now so stick around and let's find
[0:17] out
[0:19] so here's what we're going to do
[0:23] we're going to compare these four main
[0:25] tracking options
[0:27] and we're going to be comparing them
[0:29] based on tracking quality
[0:31] price
[0:33] and how accessible they are
[0:37] so here we are with the first tracking
[0:39] option and this is actually the cheapest
[0:41] one and this was just a base webcam
[0:43] tracking
[0:44] this is done directly through YouTube
[0:46] Studio using just a webcam any HD webcam
[0:50] will get similar results to this I am
[0:53] personally using a Brio 4K stream
[0:56] Edition webcam so first things first
[0:58] let's have a quick look at the tracking
[1:01] quality of the webcam tracking
[1:04] the first thing I notice is my mouth is
[1:06] very responsive now this can be tweaked
[1:09] with your parameter settings
[1:11] I think this is a pretty nice detail to
[1:13] have you can really flesh out your mouth
[1:15] shapes and it tracks it really easily so
[1:19] you can see how I'm talking and the
[1:21] mouth is constantly moving
[1:24] in terms of face angles with the
[1:27] settings I have it's pretty responsive
[1:28] however you'll generally find that with
[1:30] webcam tracking there is a general
[1:32] stiffness to all of your movements
[1:36] especially when compared to the higher
[1:38] tiers of tracking let's give the eyes a
[1:41] quick little test so let's do a wink
[1:43] test
[1:48] it does wink and we need to see how easy
[1:50] it is to control the eyes on our model
[1:52] as well
[1:56] it is struggling a little bit however
[1:58] it's not the end of the world in terms
[2:01] of tracking quality let's go ahead and
[2:03] perform the glasses test alright so
[2:05] glasses on let's see how this performs
[2:09] they're obviously the number one thing
[2:10] with tracking is to make sure you're in
[2:12] a well-lit area
[2:16] surprisingly it is doing pretty well
[2:18] when it comes to blinking however
[2:22] it is a lot more hard to wink now
[2:25] and significantly harder to keep my eyes
[2:28] at a squint
[2:31] next up we have RTX tracking now this
[2:35] one is actually a newer feature in
[2:37] YouTube studio and requires an RTX
[2:40] series graphics card now this will push
[2:44] up the price point for this particular
[2:46] tracking level however if you do have a
[2:49] more recent gaming PC then this might be
[2:52] an easier option for you for better
[2:54] tracking over the standard webcam
[2:57] you can see that it's projecting my face
[2:59] a little bit better compared to the
[3:01] webcam as you can see from this
[3:04] horrifying image on the left here
[3:07] but let's see how it tests up so let's
[3:09] go ahead and give this the Quick Test
[3:11] through the mouth is moving perfectly
[3:13] fine we also have an extra option with
[3:16] the RTX as well because this one can
[3:19] actually track
[3:21] mouth X that's right we've got a little
[3:24] bit more movement on this one
[3:26] in terms of the face angles and other
[3:29] bits let's give this a go
[3:35] it feels a lot more Dynamic and a lot
[3:37] more smooth in terms of the head turns
[3:40] compared to the base webcam
[3:42] mbis are tracking as expected there is a
[3:46] little bit of
[3:48] delay to them at some points
[3:51] and the eyebrows are tracking a lot
[3:53] better compared to the webcam
[3:56] let's go ahead and give this the old
[3:58] glasses test
[4:00] all right glass is equipped how does it
[4:02] weigh up
[4:06] from what I can see the RTX tracking
[4:08] actually performs better than the webcam
[4:10] especially if you are a glasses User
[4:13] it's still not quite perfect there's
[4:16] Parts where it's making my eyes go a
[4:18] little bit funky when I'm looking in
[4:21] specific directions
[4:23] especially with the glasses on so one
[4:26] next tracking method is the one and only
[4:28] Iphone tracking this uses the vtube
[4:30] studio app on my phone
[4:33] and connects to the vtube studio app on
[4:36] bpc now this is one of the pricier
[4:39] options as it does require a iOS device
[4:42] with a true depth camera so if that's
[4:46] generally iPhone x or above however I
[4:49] will provide a link down below with the
[4:51] full list of Apple devices that you can
[4:53] use for this type of tracking
[4:55] let's go ahead and do our tracking test
[4:58] so we've obviously been talking for a
[5:01] little while
[5:02] but how does it
[5:06] match up
[5:09] so you might notice that this is a lot
[5:12] smoother compared to the webcam options
[5:14] that is because the iPhone has better
[5:16] capability of mapping our face
[5:19] and you might notice that it's finding
[5:21] it easier to track things such as my
[5:23] eyes like when my eyes widen like this
[5:28] the mouth X is a lot smoother
[5:33] and in general I find my eyebrows track
[5:36] a lot better with the iOS
[5:39] alright glasses on let's give this a go
[5:43] move my eyes around
[5:49] you can see that the iOS handles glasses
[5:53] uses a lot better than webcam
[5:55] my eyes on basically moving the same way
[5:58] they were with the glasses off
[6:02] I can lower my eyes a lot easier
[6:07] and winking is no issue either but wait
[6:10] what if I told you there was an even
[6:13] better option for tracking that's right
[6:15] the coup de gras of tracking
[6:18] it's V1 V only it is V Bridger if you
[6:23] don't know what this program is it is a
[6:25] plugin that goes alongside of YouTube
[6:27] studio and allows for a lot better
[6:29] control over your tracking how does it
[6:32] do this you might ask it allows for
[6:34] better use of your iPhone's true depth
[6:36] camera to basically translate all of
[6:39] those extra blend shapes that you
[6:41] sometimes see on 3D models onto your
[6:43] live 2D model
[6:45] unique tracking parameters such as a
[6:48] more complex mouth with funnel and press
[6:51] as well as puckering
[6:53] as well as better control over your eyes
[6:55] such as squinting
[6:57] so let's go ahead and give this one a
[6:59] test run too we have our mouth
[7:02] obviously there is a lot more that you
[7:03] can do with your V Bridger mouth
[7:05] compared to any of the other tracking
[7:07] options
[7:11] such as chewing as well as our face
[7:15] angles
[7:19] end up blinking and eye movements
[7:27] overall V Bridger feels the most fluid
[7:29] out of all of the tracking options that
[7:31] I've tried so glasses on let's give this
[7:34] a quick go
[7:38] so V Bridget handles glasses the best
[7:40] however it's not too much of a step up
[7:43] from base iOS tracking so in general iOS
[7:47] is better when it comes to glasses users
[7:49] however the RTX tracking was close
[7:53] let's go ahead and have a quick overview
[7:56] of all four tracking types and how they
[7:58] match up
[8:15] let's also do a quick little price
[8:17] comparison between all four tracking
[8:19] options let's pop them up on screen
[8:21] right here here here and here
[8:25] and you can see that there's a bit of a
[8:27] price disparity between all four options
[8:30] what really matters is what's going to
[8:32] work for you within your budget
