VRL Cam
Honolulu, Hawaiʻi, United States
What it is
VRL Cam turns an iPhone or iPad into a tracked virtual-production camera, placing an imported VRM avatar in the viewfinder. It uses ARKit world tracking and supports LiDAR depth for avatar placement and occlusion by real objects. Users can apply face tracking, receive bone and blendshape data, and play VRMA animations. The app streams camera motion and lens data through VMC/OSC and FreeD in parallel. It can send its augmented-reality feed over NDI and display NDI sources as overlays. Live streaming supports SRT; SRTLA can combine Wi-Fi and cellular but requires an SRTLA server. VRL Cam can record composited takes with audio to Photos and output over HDMI to a TV or capture card. The maker says the app has no accounts, analytics, ads, or third-party tracking, and that most processing stays on-device or on the local network. VRL Link relays a remote performer's motion and voice to the device and sends camera and video back online. The app requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later and an ARKit-capable device; face tracking also needs TrueDepth. The free app includes every feature for personal, non-commercial use and qualifying individual creators. Pro costs $49.99 a year and includes a commercial-use license and VRL Link access.
