Does the Headrig work with MetaHuman Animator and Unreal Engine?
Yes. The Headrig mounts your iPhone for hands-free facial capture, and that iPhone feeds straight into Unreal Engine's MetaHuman Animator via Epic's free Live Link Face app - for both real-time ARKit streaming and high-precision TrueDepth (offline) capture. It also works with the Rokoko Face Capture app and integrations for Unreal, Unity, Blender, Maya, MoBu, C4D, Houdini and iClone.
If you want a dedicated head-mounted camera that plugs into MetaHuman Animator's single-cam workflow without using your phone, see the Rokoko Headcam.Can I use the Headrig with an Android phone?
The Headrig is designed for the iPhone. High-quality facial capture relies on the iPhone's TrueDepth sensor and ARKit, and the Rokoko Face Capture app is iOS-only. An Android phone will physically fit the mount, but you won't get the supported face-capture workflow, so we recommend pairing the Headrig with a compatible iPhone.
Which iPhone do I need?
The Headrig works with any iPhone that has a TrueDepth (Face ID) front camera, except Plus and Max models, which are too large for the mount. For MetaHuman Animator, Epic officially supports iPhone 12 and newer.
Headrig vs Headcam - which should I choose?
Choose the Headrig if you already own a compatible iPhone and want the most affordable, simplest way to do head-mounted face capture with ARKit and Live Link Face or Rokoko Face Capture app. Choose the Headcam if you want an all-in-one head-mounted camera (with built-in lighting, mic and USB-C output) purpose-built for MetaHuman Animator's single-cam workflow, with no phone required.
Which apps work with the Headrig?
The Headrig works with any iOS face-capture app that uses the iPhone's TrueDepth camera. The two most common are the Rokoko Face Capture app (streams into Rokoko Studio and your 3D software) and Epic's free Live Link Face app (streams into Unreal Engine and MetaHuman Animator). The Headrig simply holds the phone, you choose the pipeline.
