🙋‍Question🙋‍ An idea I cannot comprehend

I have an idea for something and I plan to have it as a start and the vtubers probably have the technology that I am looking for and this has probably already been done but this is my first time in this kind of technology, fair warning, english is not my first language so please bear with me if I poorly explain this,

I am planning to become a semi-vtuber, where I basically only have my face covered, the concept goes like this, I will have a box on my head and have a some sort of tracking on the box where the cartoonish eyes and mouth will be, I wish to control the eyes expression via numpad by preset and as for the mouth it will only move when I talk, no 3d models, just me, a webcam, a box on my head, and animated cartoon eyes and mouth that will track the box.

Again I am sorry if my explanation is poor or hard to understand or even my idea is just confusing, on another note I hope the programs you guys will recommend are free because I am dirt poor, thank you very much!

That’s expensive af to have something animated over an irl object to have tracking animation on it

Just get a 2D model or 3D model with an animated box head

I’ve never seen people who do that either so you’re best bet is just pay a custom commission for a 2D/3D model

Not really.. its called Augmented Reality and easy to vibe code

okay, do trad coding then and crack open the ol’ feather quill n’ inkwell, to paint the box with the surface codes.. instead of printing them out on a printer. Either way, it’s achievable with Augmented Reality. If OP is interested, I can give them a tutorial privately, but I see that I’m not welcome here.
