What is Tracker?
Tracker is a free video analysis and modeling tool built on the Open Source Physics (OSP) Java framework. It is designed to be used in physics education.
Tracker video modeling is a powerful way to combine videos with computer modeling. For more information see Particle Model Help or AAPT Summer Meeting posters Video Modeling (2008) and Video Modeling with Tracker (2009).

For Developers and Testers
Kinovea is a video player for sport analysis. Support Kinovea. Hi, I'm Joan Charmant, creator and developer of Kinovea. Kinovea is supported by users via Patreon. I have been working on this project in some shape or form since 2004, and I'm blown away that over the years it has been downloaded more than a million times, used by thousands of athletes, coaches, students, physical therapists. Qbserve is an automatic time tracking Mac app and productivity tracking software, especially helpful to people who tend to procrastinate. The app only tracks time when it detects a certain set of keywords in a document, or in an URL or app title. You define these keywords when you start to use the app and can add new keywords at any time.

Free Motion Tracking Software
This is a list of the most relevant vtubing software. The information is as accurate as I could figure it out, but there might be errors or some details might change. If you find anything that needs to be corrected, please let me know.
Additional explanations:
- iPhone means that an iPhone is basically required
- iFacialMocap support means that tracking data can be received from the iFacialMocap iPhone app
- VMC protocol means that the application can send and/or receive tracking data from other VMC protocol capable applications, allowing the combination of multiple tracking methods (e.g. VSeeFace receiving VR tracking from Virtual Motion Capture and iPhone/ARKit face tracking from Waidayo)
- Tobii means that the Tobii eye tracker is supported
- VR means that VR tracking is used and no camera based tracking is supported
- Desktop means that mouse and keyboard input is captured and can be used to animate the avatar instead of or in addition to face tracking
- Leap Motion means that hand and finger tracking through Leap Motion is supported
The order of this list is arbitrary and quite possibly biased, since I develop VSeeFace. Please also note that this list only includes information about tracking, not about other features like transparent background support, model formats and so on.
