@nicolas17@social.treehouse.systems Hmmm...
So ARKitCore doesn't do face tracking on macOS. AvatarKit doesn't either:
SBSAnimoji: (AvatarKit) [com.apple.avatarkit:AvatarKit] -[AVTRecordView initWithFrame:options:] : Face tracking is not available on this platform. AVTRecordView features are not supported.
relatived has a lot of references to face tracking though.

RelativeMotion.framework seems to be... something about tracking relative head position for spatial audio???
And then there's VideoProcessing which... oh.
FaceZoom
Facetime chroma extra inloop deblock
face_driven_qpm
facetime
Is FaceZoom Center Stage? And face_driven_qpm... that sounds like they have a crazy optimization for FaceTime that allocates more compression quality to people's faces?!

@lina@vt.social Another one to look into: iOS Switch Control (accessibility) lets you use head tilts to control the UI. Maybe macOS has something similar? I can't check as my Mac is busy with a long-running task in Asahi right now 😅
