Then, **look at your left hand** and you will see the Character Menu. If you want to use [eye tracking](/animotive-documentation/learning-animotive/performance/face-and-eye-tracking.md) or a [mocap suit ](/animotive-documentation/learning-animotive/performance/mocap.md)during your performance, you can set it up from this menu.&#x20;
