Problem
Creating and streaming content with customizable avatars often requires complex software and hardware, limiting accessibility for casual users and mobile content creators. Existing solutions may lack user-friendly interfaces and mobile optimization, hindering spontaneous content creation and social interaction in virtual environments.
Solution
Hyper provides a mobile application that simplifies the creation and live-streaming of content using customizable 3D and Live2D avatars. The app allows users to build avatar personas or import existing VRoid avatars, and then use advanced facial and hand motion capture technology to bring their virtual identities to life. Users can stream directly from their phones to the Hyper platform, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok, and other platforms. An OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) plugin enables streaming to desktop applications like Discord and Zoom.
