COMPANION TOOL — HEAD TRACKING
Face Orientation FREE — MACOS
Head tracking for spatial audio, zero hardware needed: turn your Mac's camera — or your AirPods — into a professional head tracker and drive any OSC-compatible spatial audio software with your face.
FEATURES
Professional tracking, instant setup
No additional hardware
Forget IMU sensors and head-mounted trackers: your webcam, your iPhone via Continuity Camera, or your AirPods.
Professional-grade tracking
Apple's Vision framework for accurate, low-latency face detection — 30 or 60 Hz with sub-frame latency. AirPods use the native Motion framework.
Universal OSC output
Works with any spatial audio software that accepts OSC — address, port and output format fully configurable.
Set and forget
Zero-reference from any head position, native Apple Silicon, minimal CPU footprint.
