Notes: Ways to Improve the Performance

Camera Quality:

  • Camera Importance: Using a low-quality camera significantly reduces performance.
  • Use Your Phone as a Camera: Consider using software like iVCam/Iriun to use your phone as a camera. These options often provide better quality than many $100 cameras.

Lighting:

  • Master Portrait Lighting: Good lighting is crucial. Proper lighting can reduce flaws and imperfections, making the video look more professional.

Latency:

  • Real-Time Performance: A high-performance PC with powerful GPU is necessary for real-time processing without lag.
  • Recommended Hardware: An NVIDIA RTX 4070 Ti or higher is recommended for optimal performance.
  • Acceleration: Paid users can activate acceleration in the My Page section.

Avoid Obstructions:

  • Face Visibility: Make sure not to cover your face, as obstructions like glasses can affect the performance of the face-swapping software.
