Specifications and recommendations for cameras to be used with Rokoko Vision.
The ambition of Rokoko Vision is to make it easy to get started so that you don't need to buy new hardware. We have strived to support as many standard camera types as possible as long as they can connect to a computer and is recognized as a camera device.
Our recommendation for the dual camera set up is to use a webcam wired to the PC and a smartphone. That setup gives you both a lot of flexibility and opportunities in your setup.
Recommend Resolution, FPS and FOV
For optimal results, we recommend 60 fps and full HD (1920x1080p) or higher. For Field of View (FOV), we don't recommend working with fish-eye lenses.
- Webcam: All webcams that can be connected to a computer and understood as a camera input devices in the OS. We recommend starting with a good webcam as it's very cost-effective.
- Smartphone: Any modern smartphone (iPhone or Android) with decent cameras.
- DSLR Cameras: Digital Single-Lens Reflex (DSLR) cameras are also a good choice for motion capture setups due to their high-quality image sensors and manual control options. They will be supported as long as they can be connected via WiFi or cable to the computer.
Mirrorless Cameras: Mirrorless cameras provide similar benefits to DSLRs, offering interchangeable lenses and excellent image quality. They will also be supported as long as they can be connected via WiFi or cable to the computer.

Once you've followed the instructions to configure the apps, you should see your iOS camera feed in their respective Windows application. The Windows application can then be selected as a camera in Rokoko Vision.
Mac/OSX
Use the following guide to connect your Mac computer to an iPhone using the Continuity feature to gain access to the iPhone camera on your Mac computer.

Go a Recording view in Rokoko Vision (Single Camera or Dual Camera)
Continuity uses the iPhone's back camera for highest possible image quality. You can use the phone both in Portrait and Landscape mode, but in Portrait mode, the image will be zoomed in, while less cropping occurs in Landscape mode.
Using and Android Phone
There are several applications that can allow you to connect your Android phone camera to your computer, so you can use it as a camera in Rokoko Vision. The connection can be established either through WiFi or using a USB cable.
If you want to use two different phones as cameras for the dual setup, you will have to install two different applications, since each application that will be installed on your computer will only be able to accommodate a single phone at a time.
