It promises to become a fun tool for all those who love to chat with their friends on PC.Ĭurrently FaceRig is only available through Steam and you have to have an account in order to download it. Occasionally it suffers some delay in synchronization between you and your onscreen image, and there are plenty of other small bugs.ĭespite this, there is clearly great potential for the program. Still developingįaceRig is currently still growing despite now being out of Beta. Thus, FaceRig allows you to chat in partially anonymity not showing your real face.

If you wish to make it more realistic there are also human characters available! This is possible because FaceRig encodes the audio and video output from your camera and then acts as a virtual webcam which it relays to your video chat.Īmong the possible avatars are monsters, animals, wizards, and a few licensed characters from games (such as Octodad). FaceRig does all of this in real-time letting your avatar move with you as you speak, mapping your voice and gestures.
