## Introducing the Features of Desktop App "nizima LIVE" 2.6

### ★ Significantly Improved Tracking Accuracy

We have generally improved the tracking accuracy using a webcam and added three features to further enhance accuracy!

We have updated the tracking foundation, improving overall stability and accuracy.
- It has become easier to stabilize even when turning in extreme directions, such as directly sideways.
- It has become easier to stabilize even without tracking correction.
- We have improved the unnatural suction feeling when turning sideways with strong tracking correction.
- It has become easier to detect hand-clapping movements.

We have added an "Adaptive Sampling" feature that continuously optimizes tracking during operation.
This feature allows for continuous optimal tracking adjustment according to the user's situation while the app is running.

[How to use]
① Open Camera Settings > Advanced Settings
② Turn ON the "Adaptive Sampling" option

Furthermore, two features to reduce eye-blinking breakdown when looking sideways have been added, along with improvements to the expression of blinking when looking sideways and upwards.

### ★ Effect Presets Renewed

All "Effect Presets" have been renewed!

All existing presets have been revised, and new presets have been added to allow for more delicate and expressive effects. You can instantly apply various effects such as blurs and color corrections.

[List of Renewed Presets (Excerpts)]
- Blur effects (Soft Focus, Bokeh)
- Color correction effects (Monotone, Sepia, Old Film)
- Distortions (Lens Distortion, Fisheye)
- Textures (Film Grain, Noise)

### ★ Strengthened Art Mesh Editing Function

This allows for more detailed and natural adjustments to the shape of the model, enabling even more expressive performances.

- Improved the stability and performance of the plugin execution environment.

This enables advanced users to customize nizima LIVE even further, such as adding unique expressions or integrating with external services.
