I did VTuber.

I felt it was boring just to move it, and when I was looking around for something in the company, I found a PC with Intel Core i9 and RTX2080Ti, HTC Vive, Vive Tracker, etc.

If you have all this, it ’s already Babiniku (Ba-CharBeautyGirl receptionmeat), So I made my VTuber debut with Manus Prime II.

For your reference, the installed software is as follows.

• Manus Core
• Unity Core Plugin
• VIVE Setup
• SteamVR
• Unity 2019.4.9f1
• Virtual Motion Capture
• EVMC4U
• Cine Switcher
• Unity-chan's 3D model * It is necessary to convert to VRM format.

In the video, it was not possible to link it with the character's hand, but I felt the possibility of various applications.

The animation is moving! ??

As mentioned earlier, this product isWe rent it free of charge for one week.

Tatsunoko Production Co., Ltd., who used this service, provided an operation test video of motion porting to animation.

After further research, in addition to Manus Prime II Glove, there was a person who was dancing with Manus Polygon (full body tracking).it's great!

Lily ( @ugogon ) With cooperation #Manus Polygon I conducted an experiment of dance motion capture by.The center is a real-time Unity video shot directly, and the fbx motion recorded on the right is streamed to the character as it is in Unity. I think 6-point tracking is good enough!
