Steps
To present in Zoom as a digital twin using webcam motion capture, you can follow these general steps:
Download and install Webcam Motion Capture software: There are several options available, such as iPi Recorder or Brekel Kinect, but in this example, we'll use VSeeFace. VSeeFace is a free and open-source software that allows you to use your webcam to capture facial movements and expressions.
Connect your webcam and calibrate your motion capture: Follow the instructions provided by your chosen motion capture software to set up your webcam and calibrate the motion capture. This may involve following specific poses or movements to ensure accurate tracking.
Install VB Audio and set up virtual audio devices: VB Audio is a free software that allows you to create virtual audio devices for streaming audio to and from different applications. Download and install VB Audio, then set up a virtual audio device that will capture the audio output of your motion capture software.
Install Descript: Descript is a transcription and editing software that can be used to enhance your Zoom presentation. Download and install Descript on your computer.
Connect your motion capture and virtual audio devices to Zoom: In your Zoom meeting, select your motion capture software as the video source, and select the virtual audio device you created in VB Audio as the audio source.
Enhance your presentation with Descript: Use Descript to transcribe your presentation, add captions, and make edits to your audio and video.
Test your presentation: Before your actual presentation, make sure to test your setup to ensure that everything is working properly. You may want to ask a friend or colleague to join a test call with you to check the audio and video quality.
By following these steps, you can present in Zoom as a digital twin using webcam motion capture, virtual audio devices, and Descript to enhance your presentation.
