Ever wanted to fool your co-workers into thinking that you're not actually a human, but a small cat? FaceRig lets you do that.
There's a growing trend on streams, and YouTube shows where streamers use a 3D avatar, instead of themselves. The "Vtuber" phenomenon started with popular channels like Kizuna AI, and vocaloid Hatsune Miku, but has since spread to all sorts of shows and streams thanks to this very intuitive app.
FaceRig is an app available on Steam for $13, and what it does is relatively simple. It uses a connected camera to map your face, then transplants a 3D model on top. Then, it creates a driver that you can point at streaming software or any software that looks for a camera.
