-If the performance is still low after disabling motion smoothing try [[democap:performanceimprovements|Performance Improvements]].+If you are using VIVE Eye/Facial Tracking and you are affected by any of the points below: 
 +  * Can not use Eye Tracking and Facial Tracking at the same time 
 +  * Get horribly slow FPS (<45) if Eye/Facial Tracking is enabled 
 +Then you should install the [[https://dragondreams.ch/index.php/openxr-layer-vive-sdk|OpenXR Layer VIVE SDK]] to work around the problematic VIVE drivers. This affects only OpenXR applications like DEMoCap.
