    don’t the face mod things on cell phones pretty much do the same? I mean tech wise. I mean I get the naming but seems like its just an option to me. Its the content to me but I don’t really watch youtube or any other tube really for titillating content so much and I guess that just makes it all meh for me.

      Similar tech, sure, but the point is how they use this technology to play a character onstream.

      It’s worth noting that one of the most popular setups (vtuber studio) for doing vtuber capture is to actually use an iPhone for your motion capture because they’re so good at it. There is an android version, but it’s widely regarded as inferior though you can get decent results with it.

      No clue, I’m not too familiar with the ins and outs of filters and avatars and stuff. But yeah, I don’t think it’s anything super new.
