VRC has added some wonderful features to the camera system and they are adding many other things to the camera soon with the camera dolly system!

However!

As a person that uses that same VRC camera on the daily for social media posts and streaming there is one thing that I feel needs to be added. Please allow my avatar to just lock on at looking at my camera at least and MAYBE giving people the option to lock on to other's cameras as well!

The reason for the request is that now we have the flying camera to pretty much move the camera how we want like a drone. Which is great! But the fact that many times I had to previously take 6+ photos and the hopes that at least ONE of said photos has my avi looking directly at the camera is just...sub optimal to say the least.

Some have been able to solve this problem my making a "Look at ball" where they have their eye bone "auto tracking" turn off and then constraints lock onto a little white ball that can then be place behind a camera or in the world though. Now this obviously solves the problem but this adds at MINIMUM 3 VRC constraints (one for each eye bone and then for the placing of the object) and a parameter bool toggle. This also kind of adds an awkward moment where after an individual is done moving the camera around or another has placed their camera they then have to stop, go into a menu, and toggle the ball on and then place it behind said camera or another's.

I stress the addition to allowing one to lock onto other people's camera because the amount of times someone took a photo with me and they send me the picture I just see my eyes either looking into the abyss or, even worse and seemly a more often scenario, looking at their avatar's bosom. Granted it is funny to see at first but when it happens just about every other photo with people it then just starts to be a little bit embarrassing...

Now another great thing about adding this feature is that although eye tracking is on the rise for VR, it wont REQUIRE people to have to either add a toggle on their avatar or almost feeling forced to buy an eye tracking compatible headset. Although eye tracking is great feature to have I think adding this feature at least relieves the somewhat forced feeling of having to get it to solve this conundrum.

So I ask again...please! Allow people to have their avatar's eyes lock onto their camera and ever better onto another's camera as well. I really do feel that adding this feature will really help VRChat content creation but potentially make the community have the need to take wonderful pictures together! Thank you!

P.S. Yes if that gets implemented in 6 months time VRCat will be out of the jar I promise
