She has already accidentally shown both her full name and the tiny town she lives in on stream, so the opsec ship has kind of sailed.
This is especially the case with Nijisanji; as opposed to Hololive commissions sometimes being great and sometimes being total garbage, they've got an in-house rigging team that constantly updates everyone's models/rigs in waves, next wave to get theirs is Ritsuki, Kanda, Fuwa and Hayase. Don't know who'd be the best 3.0 to show, but here's an example of how the most recent version looks with Tsukino Mito:
I think what's makes it so expensive is that it's cover's own solution, and they probably use some professional grade middleware and tech which is always more expensive than consumer grade. dunno how their stuff works, but vive tracking can work in a smaller space due how the tracking works, compare to for example mocap where you need an open and prepared space for it (if you want more than just hand/finger tracking which probably still requires the same tech, which I assume is what their stuff is build on).
the vr hype has died down, and for most stuff you'd need a pc or playstation unless you wanna cuck to the zucc. pc isn't that common in japan and psvr is limited by whatever sony allows on their platform, which makes it the worst combination of factors to drive local development and adoption. prices have also gone up while options have gone down, back then you could get an entry level wmr headset for 250 bucks, cheapest option now is 400 for a quest one (and iirc that's just the standalone version), reverb g2 is 600 bucks, index is 1000+ (and that's if they even officially sell in japan, for example the odyssey which was long time considered the best price/feature ratio was never available in europe).
that discussion came up before, I think it was in relation to facial expressions and accessories. can't remember if it was ever mentioned by someone directly like coco, but apparently cover's policy back then was if one gets it everyone has to get it, or other way around no one gets special treatment. stuff like 3d and handtracking is probably using them as beta testers to work out the kinks, but it's still available to everyone who wants to opt in (and probably pay for it). would also make sense since once you get 3d running anything you add is much easier to distribute across all of them, and not have to rig it to a live2d in each case.
jump in the first thing I see is white stuff in a pan. I've been on 4chan long enough to know where that ends...
They Are corpo and whenever they want update or upgrade, they need to get signature from every middle management (emphasize on Japanese middle management nonsense). Indies on the other hand can just pay out of pocket for a quick update or quick fix.
Two of my female friends and my fiance who otherwise seethe over Vtubers want to become one so they can say autistically edgy shit without consequences like Coco and Pippa.
Jannies get no mercy or respite. Push forward. The day of the passive agressive emote has come.
It's only a matter of time before someone on /vt/ puts her info out there. They're autistic enough to find her for sure. Not that she's making it difficult in the first place..
I would really like it, if the Holomems did a read along of those stories when more are released.
passive? its pretty one and done. we know Pippa reads kiwi and 4chan because she's mentioned it. she barely browses the discord, she doesnt reference anything that goes on there besides the jannies deleting everything.
