Lens Studio hack: Loss of Face Tracking due to camera distance

Hello Everyone!
Here is a little hack I’m using to tackle a problem you might have come across while developing AR effects on Lens Studio:

PROBLEM:
So you made a really cool outfit in Lens Studio with (for example) a skirt, a shirt and matching sunglasses?
However, the Sunglasses attached to the Face Tracker keep on losing the tracking when you move too far away from the camera?

SOLUTION:
Attach the sunglasses to the Head bone of the 3D Body Tracking armature!
Like that, the sunglasses won’t lose tracking as Body tracking has a bigger camera-distance range for recognition!
