The virtual streamer is everywhere and here to stay

VTubers are among the most successful online content producers in the world. The ability to reach millions of subscribers through videos or streams is a potent force. One that relies on motion capture technology to bring a VTuber’s personality to life – and create the perfect platform to share views and showcase products.

But what is the technology driving all this?

The setup of a VTuber mostly involves facial recognition, gesture recognition, and animation software, and combining these technologies can be tricky. Well-known companies in the virtual streamer space, like Cygames and CAPTUREROID, use this typical VTuber setup.
