The record

Purpose: Motara is an open-source desktop application for facial-tracking data processing, virtual-avatar control, and scene composition.
Scenes and models: Its source includes local scene persistence, Cubism model import, image and video backgrounds, effects, and screenshots.
Tracking: Tracking adapters include iFacialMocap UDP, local-camera MediaPipe, and a local OpenSeeFace process, with mapping, formulas, calibration, and filtering.
Rendering: MOC3 parsing and Skia rendering are provided through the separately maintained MIT-licensed PurismCore component.
Output integration: Motara includes a configurable Live2D Cubism Editor external-API output adapter.
Collaboration: The source includes installation identity storage, invitation formats, encrypted peer frames, local friend records, and model-package transfer primitives.
Data handling: Tracking frames, models, scenes, and screenshots are not automatically uploaded; data are processed locally unless the user starts a collaboration action.
Privacy controls: Users can stop tracking and collaboration, remove local friends and scenes, and delete local application data through their operating system.
License: Motara-authored source code is licensed under MPL-2.0 unless a file states otherwise.
Availability: The public repository contains source code only and has no official binary release or installer.
Platform status: The current desktop target is Windows; supported platforms have no compatibility guarantee.
Not implemented: VTube Studio output is not implemented, and a public plugin SDK, plugin host, and stable third-party extension contract are not provided.
Runtime limits: The repository has no official redistributable bundle for several optional components, including FFmpeg, Spout2, NDI, MediaPipe, and OpenSeeFace.
Development status: Motara is independent software under active development, and its APIs, persisted formats, collaboration protocols, and network behavior have no compatibility guarantee.
