Chapter 1692: Virtual Idols

"You guys, let's make your debut as idols together!"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Okay!"

Lihua looked confused, Qianjia looked at Senxia with caring eyes, and Alice applauded loudly.

Of course, Senxia is actually just talking.

Idols or something, of course there are.

Moreover, Qianjia and they can also play.

But that's not the main purpose.

This is actually for another thing.

"In order to avoid the abolition of the company, we decided to make our debut as idols and save the world...... Sorry, cross-worded. I mean, this technology can be used by the anchors we have signed upon. ”

Seeing that the scene was a little uncontrollable, Sen Xia hurriedly said.

"Anchor?Do you mean to let them show their heads?But in this case, wouldn't a normal camera be fine?But the bandwidth and processor consumption is very large, it will be very troublesome, right?" Lihua didn't know much about computers before, but now she knows some basic situations.

"What about our 2Dlive?" Mori continued, "We will capture the characters and then use them with 2Dlive. ”

3D is impossible to 3D, and if the current machine runs a 3D virtual character, it is actually very troublesome.

Of course, that doesn't mean Mori Xia doesn't use it.

He was just going to use this method to test the water first.

"Motion capture, reproduction with images...... Alice seemed to know the most about the technical aspect, and she immediately understood what Senxia meant, "Why not use 3D technology?"

"Well, that's another plan, and part of the reason why we're doing this model is to promote this somatosensory device. ”

3D can be done.

However, if it is an individual user, the implementation cost will be higher.

But if it's just an ordinary image of a paper person, then there's no problem, you can achieve it with just the equipment at home, and even the somatosensory equipment can be processed by itself.

This is also another world line, and some anchors often use it.

In another world, streamers often use cameras during live broadcasts, but these people sometimes don't want to actually show their faces, so they use a paper figure instead.

This puppet uses 2Dlive technology to capture through simple movements, so that the character becomes the "avatar" of the anchor.

There is nothing technical about this method itself, and it doesn't even require much resources, and the 300,000-pixel cameras on the market today can basically do this kind of work.

That's not the point, though.

"This is the idol you are talking about? I thought that as a gentleman and a big man, you would have a high opinion when you came here, but I didn't expect to say such vulgar words!" Qianjia shook her head with a look of disgust, "Such an idol is simply too cheap." ”

"Well, of course this isn't an idol. Sen Xia hurriedly said, "This is to enhance the value of anchors and let anchors become promoters of somatosensory devices." ”

Of course, it can only be used by anchors in the early stage, but for the majority of players and viewers, Senxia's actions have also helped them popularize somatosensory equipment at the same time.

“…… In this way, when we promote the somatosensory handle in the coming year, everyone will be more acceptable. And our second option can also be popularized. ”

One big difference between WII and Kinect is that the former itself has a somatosensory controller, while Kinect is just an XBOX accessory, and it is not a random gift, but a separate purchase.

Senxia is also facing this problem.

The controller can be done, but this kind of camera is quite troublesome. Moreover, the somatosensory photography on Senxia's side is actually a more high-end technology than the other world line - because of the difference in the times - so the cost is higher.

This also means that the latter is more likely to cause various problems in terms of cost.

There is always only one most important factor in promoting a product, and that is cost.

If the cost problem is not solved, then many things cannot be talked about.

For example, mobile phones are a good thing, and everyone in the future will have to do it. But if a mobile phone starts with 200,000 soft girl coins, then this thing will always be a carnival of niche billionaires.

Of course, Senxia can target the category market.

Streamers are one.

It's like a photographer needs a monitor with a high degree of color accuracy, and only a monitor with high color accuracy can help them with retouching. However, for the average user, they don't have this need. The price of professional monitors is higher than average, but it is also for this reason that photographers mostly choose professional monitors.

For anchors, this device is a very suitable device.

Well, if you add a camera, it's not impossible for me to show my face, but that's more troublesome.

The Hatsune station on Senxia's side is able to deeply integrate 2Dlive into the website, and the materials and elements can be integrated with the website itself, and then called at a critical time. This means that when streamers upload it, they need to process very little data on their own side, but they hand it over to the website, and because they don't directly integrate the image into the game screen, they don't have to consume extra resources.

Well, this method is actually similar to the "psoriasis" ads on videos on many websites......

So compared to the appearance of the deity, this kind of 2Dlive character image is actually very resource-saving.

But these are not virtual idols.

"Hatsune Miku. Senxia said a name.

"Hatsune? do you want Hatsune to be the anchor?" "Chika probably understood Mori Xia's thoughts, "No, no, you said before that we should be idols, and you want to virtualize us?"

"Well, not really. But there is also some closeness. Qianjia naturally didn't guess what Senxia wanted to do.

Mori Xia thought for a moment, and then said, "What we want to do is actually these virtual anchors like Hatsune Miku." It's just that compared to Hatsune Miku, these virtual anchors themselves are actually played by people in the back, and these people play games and chat while maintaining the character setting of this virtual character. ”

What Senxia is talking about is actually VTUBER.

Declare in advance that Sen Xia doesn't know what artificial retarded Ai-chan is, nor does he know what Uncle Fox Niang, what white blowing snow, and what crumb maid......

VTuber is actually a kind of "virtual idol anchor" in another world line.

These virtual characters are captured by real people in the background, and then turned into virtual characters in the front.

These characters then maintain their own personalities to bring an interesting experience to the audience.

And among them, the one who brought this setting to life is the earliest famous artificial intellectual disability (unmistakable) stumbling love.

Tripai calls himself the world's first Virtual-YouTuber, also known as VTUBER.

The character has the appearance of a 16-year-old girl, but claims to be only 5 years old. In the setting, it exists as an AI artificial intelligence, but this AI is not smart at all, but a mentally retarded character, but it is also affectionately called "artificial retardation" by fans.

It is worth mentioning that these "virtual UP masters" Vtubers also have a cute attribute between them and their actors, called "clear". This word was originally used by mud bombardment netizens to mean pure and beautiful.

However, due to the particularity of Vtuber's expression, there will be a situation where the appearance and original setting are very pure, and the inner "middle person (voice actor)" is not so pure, which makes the character intentionally or unintentionally do words and deeds that do not conform to the appearance or original design.

Creates a cuteness similar to the contrast of moe, and this moe attribute is called clear. Vtubers with this moe property are called clear Vtubers.

By the way, behind some Vtubers, it is not a cute girl, but a big man who picks his feet.

According to people passing by, after the virtual UP master showed his appearance, his popularity rose, and many people even sighed, "No wonder it's so cute, it's a man who understands men after all" or something......

And what Senxia wants to do here is actually this kind of virtual idol.

"We can officially use better equipment to produce the work. "I think there's no problem with the official use of better resources to realize the 3D characters." ”

Compared to the convenience of 2D, 3D is more subtle.

From design to modeling, to display on the website, such a character is really not so easy to make.

Anyway, the average player can't handle it.

But if this kind of project is carried out by the official, then it is natural to get the help of the technical team, and it will be much more convenient to solve the problem of virtual characters when the time comes.

"So, we can build virtual characters like this, and then we play them in the back. In this way, everyone will be able to become idols!" said Mori Xia, this is what she wants!

"Speaking of which, when I was in the Lighthouse Country, I saw some interesting comments on the Internet. Alice suddenly spoke at this moment, "Many people have actually watched some live videos, but everyone is very interested in some live videos. ”

This year, there are cameras and photography software, and Senxia's live broadcast here also supports related content.

It's just that because of the poor quality of the machine, these effects are relatively rough.

"Some people just like to stream 18X content. Alice said.

"Wait a minute, our website can't broadcast 18X's content live!" Lihua was anxious, "This kind of impure thing, Hatsune Station won't do it!"

"Of course it's not you, there are a lot of people over there who want a piece of the pie too. However, most of the live broadcasts are dead, and these niches that use adult elements are quite marketable. Alice said as she leaned over to Senxia.

But Alice does have a point.

The development of Hatsune Station over the years is not just blowing.

But also because of this reason, many businessmen want to come over and get a piece of the pie. But helplessly, although some of them began to imitate, and some began to copy, the difference in technical strength and concept made them have no choice.

There is one exception.

That's content for adults.

On the official side of Senxia, there is no adult content.

On the Beacon Nation side, some body parts are allowed to be shown in some special circumstances, but that is usually for the sake of art, and it is manually moderated. So on the Beacon Country's side, there are some companies that have not been defeated by Hatsune Station.

Rather, it gradually became the position of gentlemen.

It's just that these gentlemen are more serious, and Senxia still said that he is the real gentleman here......

Sen Xia took a step back calmly, avoiding Alice's step-by-step pressing.

"I mean, can we have some subtle ...... What about that kind of idol?"

As soon as Alice finished speaking, she was left by Lihua, who was blushing.

"This, this, this, this impure thing, forbidden!"

But hearing Lihua's voice, Alice laughed, and then her fingers slipped off Lihua's shoulders, and then went all the way down......

Lihua's face changed, and she quickly took two steps back.

Because...... Alice's fingers almost followed the path of Lihua's belt inside her clothes......

"Forbidden~" Alice glanced at Lihua meaningfully.

And the latter has already blushed at this time, and the whole person has entered a chaotic process.

The Lihua was broken, and it couldn't be restarted.

"Officials can't do that kind of 18X content. But gentlemen are not limited to this content. If you like this niche, it's not like we can't provide licensing!"

Qianjia pulled Lihua to her side, as if she didn't let Alice touch her "little toy".

"Ahem. I think what Lihua said makes sense. Senxia stepped up, "Although it looks interesting, it's actually not realistic, because it's our side...... Technology is limited. ”

Well, virtual gameplay is indeed interesting, but it's really not easy to come up with that kind of thing in this day and age......

Of course, some sultry and side-rubbing designs, Hatsune Station is no problem, and more in-depth things, although Mori Xia also wants to do it, but there is no way to do technical limitations.

"But I think that's enough. Senxia continued, "Our technology is very good and strong, and it is industry-leading. With our strength, there is no problem in wanting to do something interesting. Hatsune Miku has given us a good start in terms of virtual idols, and this time, we're going to try something else. ”

Hatsune Miku is purely artificial, and this is actually more similar to "playing", and there is actually quite a big difference between the two sides.

But what does it matter? For the audience, the difference doesn't bother, it's enough.

Although the original technology appeared more than ten years later. But in Senxia's view, this technology can actually be realized now.

Since the effect can be achieved, why not give it a try?

With this mentality, this project of Senxia was born.

"When the time comes, you'll be able to play these virtual characters too!"

- This is the meaning of the first sentence that Senxia said.
