Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited support for languages other than C#

   The tool is primarily designed and optimized for use with Unity, which predominantly uses C#. Users of other programming languages may face challenges in integrating IrisBarracuda into their projects.

2. 02

   Performance degradation on lower-end hardware

   Real-time applications using IrisBarracuda can experience frame rate drops and increased latency when running on devices with limited computational resources, such as older or less powerful mobile devices.

3. 03

   Complex setup process for new users

   Integrating IrisBarracuda into a Unity project requires several steps including setting up the Barracuda framework and configuring MediaPipe models, which can be overwhelming for beginners.

4. 04

   Dependence on external libraries like MediaPipe

   IrisBarracuda relies heavily on MediaPipe for its functionality. Any issues or updates in the MediaPipe library could affect the performance and stability of IrisBarracuda.
