Motion Tracking Possibilities

I was wondering if anyone has done motion tracking within PlayCanvas projects. I have worked with simple motion tracking in Unity and was wondering if there are similar possibilities with PlayCanvas. Ideally, I would like to be able to use a camera (for example, integrating OpenPose). However, I havent been able to find any information on any type of motion tracking within PlayCanvas, so I was just curious if anyone has tried it.

Hello @emily
Im pretty sure you can do motion tracking in PlayCanvas, but I have never tried it out myself. Maybe I just might!

While there is nothing that is specific for PlayCanvas, you should be able to grab any browser compatible tracking JS library and use the data it gives you in PlayCanvas.

Eg use https://trackingjs.com/ with a webcam to detect a face and use that information (such as the relative position to the camera to move a cube around the PlayCanvas scene.
