NOVEL NEXT Chapter 321: [The Charm Of Home 3D]
"Wow, it's started! It's been a while since our last offline collab stream! ‘Is everyone doing well? It's your big sister ☆’ I'm Anegasaki Monet☆”
“‘My words to you', I'm Translator Girl Iroha… sigh”
《‘Grrrr… I'm a zombie. It's Angu Ogu!’》
≫I love you, Anegooo!
≫Iroharo!
≫Hey, Ogu! (U.S.)
“By the way, today we're using ‘mocobi’ for a 3D stream, so everyone can see cute Iroha-chan!”
≫Whoa! Home 3D!
≫Ah, Anego you’re as lively as ever, lol.
≫Ogu’s movements are adorable, lolol.Ah-nee and Angu Ogu jumped and waved, making the 3D models on the stream screen bounce around energetically.
This movement was made possible by small, round sensors attached to the back of the head, waist, wrists, and ankles.
That’s mocobi—a type of motion capture system.
It’s lightweight and convenient for full-body tracking at home or on the go.
“I can’t believe it's so easy to move my whole body at home now. Times have changedne~”
Previous systems were heavy, and for someone like me, it was exhausting, so this is a blessing.
At around 50,000 yen, it’s a very affordable tracking device.
Well, with convenience comes some drawbacks or limitations, though.
For example…
“Whoa, Anego!? You’re moving so wildly, your arm is bending in a weird direction!? I have to cover you up!?”
“Haha, sorry, sorry.”
“Quick, stand up straight! Reset! Phew~. Seriously, be more careful!”
As you move, the position tends to drift slightly.
This is the downside of using accelerometers and gyroscopes instead of optical sensors.
Also, it can’t track facial expressions or fingertips.
There are solutions for that, but… we couldn’t arrange them in time, so we’ll skip those for now.
“But I was really surprised, Ane~. I didn’t know that person was so knowledgeable about streaming equipment.”
“They really saved us. By the way, VTubers are truly multi-talented.”
Incidentally, the same VTuber who helped me set up hand tracking for the sign language stream when I injured my throat also gave us advice for this Home 3D stream.
Apparently, you can now do full-body tracking just with a smartphone camera.
However, it’s not suitable for situations with multiple people in the same space, so it wasn’t an option for this stream…
Yeah, they taught me a lot, but I’m sorry!
It was too complicated for me to understand!?
So, for the details… it seems like they’ll be releasing a video soon, so look forward to that.
“Anyway, Iroha, you’ve been awfully quiet, haven’t you?”
“Uh, you noticed! Sigh Why did it come to this? I just want to go home.”
“Your home is right here, though.”
≫Iroha-chan’s energy is visibly low just because she’s not good at exercise, lol.
≫In 3D, you can clearly see how slumped she is, lolol.
≫Hang in there!
“Geez~! Come on, get fired up~! This is a project just for you, Iroha-chan!”
“What a troublesome kindness.”
“But if you don’t build up your stamina, it’ll be tough during international events, right? Your songs are so wonderful!”
“Ugh.”
≫Iroha-chan’s solo song PV is amazing!
≫I don’t know if I’ll get a ticket, but I’m looking forward to hearing it live!
≫I listen to it 10 times a day! It makes me smile every time!
We recently released the PV, and everyone’s reaction has been pretty positive.
Well, it’s my first solo song, so there’s no real standard to compare it to!
“See, see, Iroha~! Everyone’s talking about it~”
“Th-thank you, everyone…”
“By the way, I listen to it 20 times a day! I win!”
≫Why is this person competing with the fans, lolol.
≫Well, I listen to it 30 times a day.
≫I listen to it 50 times.
≫By the way, I listen to Iroha-sama’s solo song 100 times a day! (U.S.)
≫Whoa, Illisha is here!?
≫Of course, Illisha’s in the comments, lol
“What!? I… I actually… l-listen to it 1,000 times!”
≫That’s impossible, lol.
≫When kids try to exaggerate a big number, they somehow always say 1,000, right?
≫I’m honestly more scared that Illisha’s number might not be a lie…
“I-I'm not lying either…! Ugh, Iroha~! I’m supposed to be the number one!?”
“Hey!? Don’t cling to me!”
≫Aww~. This is a treat for the eyes. Thanks, Home 3D.
≫Gyaa!? Ogu-san, what are you doing to Iroha-sama!? Please step away immediately! (Ukrainian)
≫This is probably a draw, one win, one loss.
Angu Ogu put her index finger to her eye and stuck out her tongue at the camera.
“That movement can’t be captured by mocobi”—I thought to myself, not wanting to get involved.
