Hey guys,

Anyone know if VAM or a plugin can track another person or a human sized doll/mannequin in VAM, similar to the way it can currently do hand tracking with Virtual Desktop?

The idea is simple: imagine if your real hands can reach out and touch another human or a doll/mannequin who is embodied by a VAM character in the game…

Virtually touching a character in VAM would instantly give real tactile sensation and input to you. Move the VAM character and you would be really moving the other person or doll/mannequin.

Probably would start out janky and awkward at first but the application would be enormous.

Anyone have any ideas or has this been done before?
 
Do you mean without body trackers? There's a plugin for using a Kinect device (see below). Also, there are probably many options for full body tracking with webcams if you do a web search. Not sure if they'd work with VaM on their own though, or with a motionless figure.

Funny enough, I had the same idea few days ago. I think I might have a solution for you.
Check back in few days 😉
