LiveLink VCAM iphone app for virtual production

Hello! I am a film student and just starting to get into Unreal Engine specifically for the use of virtual production. I am trying to find a workflow that is as cheap as possible but also gives me the freedom of having my unreal engine world on set for the DP and actors to have reference for. I thought that I could use the LiveLink VCAM app in order to get camera tracking data while recording and then comp in my green screen footage, as opposed to using a camera tracking setup like the VIVE tracker that is very expensive. When I went to test this idea I found the iphone track to be very laggy and not super accurate, which was a problem I was expecting. Is there anyway to make the track from the iphone app more accurate? Thanks for your help!

My plan b is to just use the app as reference and do all the camera tracking in post, but I would love to be able to do janky virtual production and save all the time it takes to track individual shots in post. Again, if you have other ideas I would love to hear them!

Hi!
Hope you’re well :slight_smile:
