Is VLiva open source?+
No. VLiva is currently a closed-source project and is not distributed under an open-source license.
Is this replacing VTube Studio?+
No. VLiva is a native Linux alternative with its own focus, not a replacement for existing tools.
Will VBridger be supported?+
Compatibility is under evaluation because it could simplify migration for existing VTuber workflows.
What tracking does the demo use?+
The current build supports webcam-based MediaPipe Face Mesh and OpenCV tracking modes, depending on available dependencies.
