vear – Anime Avatar Camera: Stream and Record with Your 3D Avatar
vear is a multimedia app that allows users to stream and record using their 3D avatars. The app supports VRM, a 3D avatar file format for VR, which can be uploaded to your iCloud Drive and used in the app. With ARKit’s face recognition technology, users can apply their facial expressions to their avatars as soon as they launch the app. The avatar’s body angle adjusts naturally to the angle of the neck, adding to its realism. vear also allows users to add motion to their avatars through motion capture, where two devices can be connected and one used as a tracker. The movement of the body recognized by the tracker is transferred to the other vear so that the avatar can move in real-time. With vear, users can set a free background by selecting an image from their album or a spherical image taken with RICOH THETA. The app also offers a distribution function using ReplayKit Live, allowing users to distribute their streams with famous distribution apps such as Mirative, Ichinana, and TwitCasting.
