Roblox released a face tracking/camera feature with safety and civility as its core values.
The feature allows users aged 13 and above to animate their avatars using their device camera’s movement.
It aims to enhance social interactions and provide a more immersive experience.
Developers can enable this camera input for their experiences to drive deeper engagement with users.
Users’ consent is required to access the device camera, and Roblox assures that no recorded information is stored.
