2020
Machine learning models like Mediapipe Pose, used by Juice's SteamVR driver for example, have to deal with a lot of data. We're talking full high-def color video!

From that, it needs to somehow figure out your body and where each part is in 3D. Because you are in a 3D space captured by a 2D camera.

Processing all that information, even under the best conditions, still results in an unreliable shaky output that's almost unuseable.

The Kinect already sees in 3D, so this isn't an issue. Also, the body tracking for Kinect was specifically made for games.

At least for now, webcam tracking isn't a good idea to get into, unless you want to use AprilTag trackers, that works pretty well.

`**Amethyst does not support linux**. It will not run through Wine or any similar \"not-emulators\". We use too much Windows-specific APIs and libraries.

(Examples? COM - no linux equivalent, WinRT - Win32 projected via COM, Store APIs - packaged builds require Microsoft Store for MS's own injected DRM)

That said, [WinUI is currently on life support](<https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/discussions/9417>), and Avalonia seems to be very promising. As much as we'd love to get rid of it and support linux, another rewrite is just too much.

I *(「Akaya」)* don't even use VR or own a HMD anymore, and a complete rewrite is much more demanding in terms of testing than minor fixes/features.`],

For now, we don't plan on adding such functionality to Amethyst, as it would result in either a janky band-aid or a complete app rewrite (see: [linux]).

The closest thing available as of now, is tracking overrides. You can set up one 360 Kinect to track you when facing forward, and a XBONE one to track when you're turned around.`],
