How can I use my camera feed for face tracking workflows while in the Editor?

Maxine

Symptoms:

“Live” mode in Simulation/Device Views gives me a warning about not having a face tracking library available.
When I am using my webcam in the editor, face tracking is not working.
I made a face filter and can test it on-device, but I cannot test it in Unity.

Cause:

Face Tracking in MARS requires a provider for face tracking data and functionality, and none is shipped with MARS.

Resolution:

This is currently possible, but you must first acquire a separate third-party license.

Please contact us directly at mars@unity3d.com.

Alternatively, you can use one of the pre-recorded face videos, which do not require you to have a face tracking provider.

See Session Recordings for more information about pre-recorded videos.
