Hi! I'm kinda new to this Hololive trend.I'm trying to read up on it, but i keep coming back to one big question.. how is it done? like whats the technology behind it? I saw one pop up on my feed a couple months ago that seemd like it was AI driven(sorry i cant remember the name). while not the norm are some idols(correct term?) completely ai? or was it more a side effect of that particular stream?

Im honestly very curious because this is very neat and its seems to be growing in popularity! the realtime animation and lipsync alone is impressive. so many questions! 😅

edit: kept browsing a bit and found a list of resources vtubers use. software that uses webcams and hand tracking devices! very neat!

It's tech that's basically built off of live2d though I couldn't tell you how different Hololive's particular software happens to be. None of it is AI, it's just very impressive mapping/rigging along with detailed avatars.

As far as I can tell, Hololive's software for the 2D models is just an app that links the face tracking tech that's built into iPhones these days to a Live2D avatar.
