Head Measurements Presets 

Head modeling measurements can be saved as user presets. This makes it easy to switch between mixers, for 
several people to participate in the mix, and to move your head tracking measurements from one system to another. 
Click on the arrow next to the Units panel to open the Head Modeling menu. Use this menu to save and load 
measurement presets.  

When you open or enable the plugin, the factory preset is loaded. This 
sets the head measurements to their default values, even if the host 
session includes measurement settings. If you have saved your 
settings as the default preset, this will load when the plugin is opened 
or activated. You can also create user presets and add them to the 
Preset menu.  
Save a preset to a new file to move it to another host.

Tips for Better Camera Tracking 

1.  Make sure there is enough light in the room to enable a tracking rate of at least 20 fps. Webcams generally have 

a tracking rate of up to 30 fps. The optimal rate is anywhere between 25 fps and 30 fps. The frame rate is shown 

on the Head Tracking panel. 

2.  Sit no more than 5 ft to 6 feet (150 cm–180 cm) away from the camera (optimal distance varies by camera).  
3.  Move no further than 30 degrees left or right, relative to the camera. 

 

 

 

 

The Head Modeling menu is used to save and load measurement presets only. These presets do not 

contain settings for the plugin as a whole. Plugin presets are managed with the WaveSystem toolbar at 

the top of the interface. General presets do not affect the Head Modeling settings.
