Working on an accessibility tool for Deaf/HoH VR users named VR-CC to transcribe their audio in a VR overlay!
Words are made more transparent when confidence in the transcription is low.
Runs locally, no analytics, no subscription service!
Even seems to recognize common sounds!

I'm the creator of VRCFaceTracking. I was permabanned from
@VRChat
for drawing a heart on a canvas and falsely accused of botting by friends of VRC Staff. The heart of my story: How VRC treats its community. I want my story heard.

So glad to see those "lines of communication with mod creators" really led to something great. Can't wait to continue using old versions of the game while never needing to update my mods👍

Finally, after a year of no updates, VRCFT v5.0 is out!
New UI, new parameters, new installer, new features (including support for VRChat's native eye tracking)!
So glad to finally have this weight lifted aha

Picked up a broken iPhone to try out Dazbme's ARKit VRCFaceTracking module and got it working with newer versions of VRCFT.
It works surprisingly well with existing avatars, and required no edits!
It even tracks eye movement 👀

I'm past being upset about the ban itself. It's just the complete lack of communication I've received from all parties involved throughout this whole ordeal.
From what I can gather, the creator of VRCFaceTracking
@benaclejames
is permanently banned from VRC after a report from someone on

When you're signing with a massive furry, the imagination is usually relied on quite heavily to begin with. While facial expressions help, context is way more useful in VR

Wooo! Great news for Virtual Desktop users!
Among other amazing features, face tracking is now supported! This means you can finally use virtual desktop on the quest pro to get facial tracking in VRChat via VRCFT

Some people seem to be missing my point here. There is no way they can add EAC to quest. They'd have to put actual effort into making a good anticheat on their own, which they likely won't do. I'm not "snitching", as that would imply that I want this fixed. I'm literally a modder

Some more cursed face tracking content for you. Just finished re-implementing "binary-params" which allow for size customisability on float parameters, and save enough space to implement full facial and eye tracking! 🎉

Instead, I hope quest users start to realize the glaring issues with this platform after being exposed to mods and the benefits they bring. I imagine this whole situation would've gone down a lot differently if theyir WHOLE playerbase used mods

This is exactly the kind of creative, wholesome, and useful features that will be squashed by easyanticheat. OSC simply cannot do everything, and edge cases such as hooking videoplayers for their url and player state REQUIRE modding to be possible

Migrated my fursuit detection ML model to the YOLOv6 framework, which appears to have sped up processing by an order of magnitude! It can even process video at realtime speeds!

Oof, yet another pro business decision from Vive.
Lets hope they at least follow through with their promises of a SteamVR driver for the ultimate trackers.
Oh yeah, and when was the fabled Vive Pro 2 eye tracking module promised again?
Q3/2021?
Yeah, sounds about right🙄
Another L from Vive, discontinuing a one-of-a-kind product as its gaining popularity without any competition in sight.
Of course, you could just buy one of their more expensive and inferior options

Here's a demo of VR-CC transcribing Spanish in real time!
It can transcribe provided you know the name of the spoken language, and can optionally translate back to English (though sometimes inaccurate).
Build available to my early access supporters!

I'm so tempted to buy the Vive ultimate trackers to just make my own SteamVR driver at this point....
They're taking too long with the official release, and knowing Vive, that release could just as easily never come :c
Has any progress even been made yet?

Said "detailed" response only contained what world accused me.
No reason as to why I was targeted, no ability to prove my innocence. I'm literally willing to give full access to my main PC to do so, and yet all parties involved have given me vague explanations at best.

Smh the amount of discords unknowingly providing bad actors publicity surrounding recent VRChat news is giving me flashbacks to 2012 Instagram posts saying "Don't follow this user or they'll hack your account"
This was clearly a publicity stunt and you're all falling for it 🙄

Would it be too much to ask for more private communication? So far I've recieved an "erroneous" copy-paste "You're banned, move on" reply, and a single "detailed" response containing a single somewhat-vague sentence pertaining to the actual reason.

If nomading in the US for 3 months has taught me anything, it's been the overwhelming kindness and generosity of people I've never even met outside of VR.
To the friends who've been there for me, I literally can't thank you enough for showing such trust and compassion 💙

I made accessibility mods. VRCCC (w/ Foxipso), VRCThumbParams, and a camera shutter visualization mod. All but VRC-CC had to be privated during the modder banwave last year. Some things simply aren't possible with OSC, hence VRC-CC still existing. This isn't the move.

I feel like the introduction of this could've gone smoother by allowing people to opt out and continue to use dynamic bone solving on existing avatars as opposed to forcing all dynamic bone components to use phys-bones and causing countless compatibility issues

They granted my appeal from an earlier date. I appealed on the 17th but didn't hear back until the 27th, when they replied to ask about my doc. I told them my doc was in direct response to the defamatory doc of Craz. They said they'd be willing to grant my appeal so here we are.

OSC is sending data over your local network to a server running inside VRChat. You're limited by VRC's implementation of said server. Modding usually references the act of modifying things running inside VRChat to change or extend the abilities of the existing implementation.
