VRL Cam
vtoku.cam
What it is
VRL Cam turns an iPhone or iPad into a tracked virtual-production camera, placing a VRM avatar in its viewfinder. ARKit world tracking supports avatar placement, while LiDAR depth can help place avatars and hide them behind real objects. Users can import VRM models, use face tracking, receive bone and blendshape data, and play VRMA animations.
The app sends six-degree-of-freedom camera motion and lens data over VMC/OSC and FreeD in parallel. It can send its AR feed through NDI and display NDI sources as overlays. Live streaming supports SRT; SRTLA can bond Wi-Fi and cellular but requires an SRTLA server. The app can record composited takes with audio to Photos and output through HDMI to a TV or capture card. It requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later and an ARKit-capable iPhone or iPad; face tracking requires TrueDepth. The free app includes every feature for personal, non-commercial use and qualifying individual creators. VRL Link costs $4.99 a month; Pro costs $49.99 a year.
