VTubeStudio Tracking Comparison | Webcam/RTX/iphone/VBridger + Glasses User Friendly?

[00:00] so you're wondering

[00:02] what is the best tracking option for a

[00:04] live.tv tuber in 2023 well look no

[00:08] further in today's video we're going to

[00:10] be going through all of the different

[00:11] options that you have in vtube studio

[00:14] right now so stick around and let's find

[00:17] out

[00:19] so here's what we're going to do

[00:23] we're going to compare these four main

[00:25] tracking options

[00:27] and we're going to be comparing them

[00:29] based on tracking quality

[00:31] price

[00:33] and how accessible they are

[00:37] so here we are with the first tracking

[00:39] option and this is actually the cheapest

[00:41] one and this was just a base webcam

[00:43] tracking

[00:44] this is done directly through YouTube

[00:46] Studio using just a webcam any HD webcam

[00:50] will get similar results to this I am

[00:53] personally using a Brio 4K stream

[00:56] Edition webcam so first things first

[00:58] let's have a quick look at the tracking

[01:01] quality of the webcam tracking

[01:04] the first thing I notice is my mouth is

[01:06] very responsive now this can be tweaked

[01:09] with your parameter settings

[01:11] I think this is a pretty nice detail to

[01:13] have you can really flesh out your mouth

[01:15] shapes and it tracks it really easily so

[01:19] you can see how I'm talking and the

[01:21] mouth is constantly moving

[01:24] in terms of face angles with the

[01:27] settings I have it's pretty responsive

[01:28] however you'll generally find that with

[01:30] webcam tracking there is a general

[01:32] stiffness to all of your movements

[01:36] especially when compared to the higher

[01:38] tiers of tracking let's give the eyes a

[01:41] quick little test so let's do a wink

[01:43] test

[01:48] it does wink and we need to see how easy

[01:50] it is to control the eyes on our model

[01:52] as well

[01:56] it is struggling a little bit however

[01:58] it's not the end of the world in terms

[02:01] of tracking quality let's go ahead and

[02:03] perform the glasses test alright so

[02:05] glasses on let's see how this performs

[02:09] they're obviously the number one thing

[02:10] with tracking is to make sure you're in

[02:12] a well-lit area

[02:16] surprisingly it is doing pretty well

[02:18] when it comes to blinking however

[02:22] it is a lot more hard to wink now

[02:25] and significantly harder to keep my eyes

[02:28] at a squint

[02:31] next up we have RTX tracking now this

[02:35] one is actually a newer feature in

[02:37] YouTube studio and requires an RTX

[02:40] series graphics card now this will push

[02:44] up the price point for this particular

[02:46] tracking level however if you do have a

[02:49] more recent gaming PC then this might be

[02:52] an easier option for you for better

[02:54] tracking over the standard webcam

[02:57] you can see that it's projecting my face

[02:59] a little bit better compared to the

[03:01] webcam as you can see from this

[03:04] horrifying image on the left here

[03:07] but let's see how it tests up so let's

[03:09] go ahead and give this the Quick Test

[03:11] through the mouth is moving perfectly

[03:13] fine we also have an extra option with

[03:16] the RTX as well because this one can

[03:19] actually track

[03:21] mouth X that's right we've got a little

[03:24] bit more movement on this one

[03:26] in terms of the face angles and other

[03:29] bits let's give this a go

[03:35] it feels a lot more Dynamic and a lot

[03:37] more smooth in terms of the head turns

[03:40] compared to the base webcam

[03:42] mbis are tracking as expected there is a

[03:46] little bit of

[03:48] delay to them at some points

[03:51] and the eyebrows are tracking a lot

[03:53] better compared to the webcam

[03:56] let's go ahead and give this the old

[03:58] glasses test

[04:00] all right glass is equipped how does it

[04:02] weigh up

[04:06] from what I can see the RTX tracking

[04:08] actually performs better than the webcam

[04:10] especially if you are a glasses User

[04:13] it's still not quite perfect there's

[04:16] Parts where it's making my eyes go a

[04:18] little bit funky when I'm looking in

[04:21] specific directions

[04:23] especially with the glasses on so one

[04:26] next tracking method is the one and only

[04:28] Iphone tracking this uses the vtube

[04:30] studio app on my phone

[04:33] and connects to the vtube studio app on

[04:36] bpc now this is one of the pricier

[04:39] options as it does require a iOS device

[04:42] with a true depth camera so if that's

[04:46] generally iPhone x or above however I

[04:49] will provide a link down below with the

[04:51] full list of Apple devices that you can

[04:53] use for this type of tracking

[04:55] let's go ahead and do our tracking test

[04:58] so we've obviously been talking for a

[05:01] little while

[05:02] but how does it

[05:06] match up

[05:09] so you might notice that this is a lot

[05:12] smoother compared to the webcam options

[05:14] that is because the iPhone has better

[05:16] capability of mapping our face

[05:19] and you might notice that it's finding

[05:21] it easier to track things such as my

[05:23] eyes like when my eyes widen like this

[05:28] the mouth X is a lot smoother

[05:33] and in general I find my eyebrows track

[05:36] a lot better with the iOS

[05:39] alright glasses on let's give this a go

[05:43] move my eyes around

[05:49] you can see that the iOS handles glasses

[05:53] uses a lot better than webcam

[05:55] my eyes on basically moving the same way

[05:58] they were with the glasses off

[06:02] I can lower my eyes a lot easier

[06:07] and winking is no issue either but wait

[06:10] what if I told you there was an even

[06:13] better option for tracking that's right

[06:15] the coup de gras of tracking

[06:18] it's V1 V only it is V Bridger if you

[06:23] don't know what this program is it is a

[06:25] plugin that goes alongside of YouTube

[06:27] studio and allows for a lot better

[06:29] control over your tracking how does it

[06:32] do this you might ask it allows for

[06:34] better use of your iPhone's true depth

[06:36] camera to basically translate all of

[06:39] those extra blend shapes that you

[06:41] sometimes see on 3D models onto your

[06:43] live 2D model

[06:45] unique tracking parameters such as a

[06:48] more complex mouth with funnel and press

[06:51] as well as puckering

[06:53] as well as better control over your eyes

[06:55] such as squinting

[06:57] so let's go ahead and give this one a

[06:59] test run too we have our mouth

[07:02] obviously there is a lot more that you

[07:03] can do with your V Bridger mouth

[07:05] compared to any of the other tracking

[07:07] options

[07:11] such as chewing as well as our face

[07:15] angles

[07:19] end up blinking and eye movements

[07:27] overall V Bridger feels the most fluid

[07:29] out of all of the tracking options that

[07:31] I've tried so glasses on let's give this

[07:34] a quick go

[07:38] so V Bridget handles glasses the best

[07:40] however it's not too much of a step up

[07:43] from base iOS tracking so in general iOS

[07:47] is better when it comes to glasses users

[07:49] however the RTX tracking was close

[07:53] let's go ahead and have a quick overview

[07:56] of all four tracking types and how they

[07:58] match up

[08:15] let's also do a quick little price

[08:17] comparison between all four tracking

[08:19] options let's pop them up on screen

[08:21] right here here here and here

[08:25] and you can see that there's a bit of a

[08:27] price disparity between all four options

[08:30] what really matters is what's going to

[08:32] work for you within your budget
