Lets Fans Pat VTubers on Screen With Hand Tracking","summary":"Ohtani Design Laboratory has begun full-scale provision of Bui Nade!, an interactive attraction that lets users pat VTubers and anime or game characters on a screen using hand-tracking sensors. The system is part of the company's Teno-Verse interactive event content line. Users hold a hand over a sensor, and the on-screen character reacts in real time, with expressions, limited voices, and motions changing in response. For VTubers, the system supports two-way communication, allowing the streamer to see where the user is patting and respond with dialogue like \"I can see you patting my head!\" The attraction requires no controllers, gloves, or touch panels. Existing Live2D and 3D models, 2D illustrations, and voice materials can be used as-is, eliminating the need for dedicated app development or new artwork. Setup requires only a monitor or projector, a small PC, and the sensor. The one-time purchase plan costs 1.48 million yen, with a campaign price of 1.08 million yen. Rental and subscription plans are available by individual quote. The company also offers casting and collaboration consultations for businesses without their own VTubers or characters.","whyItMatters":"The attraction addresses a gap in fan events where interaction is typically one-way, offering a contactless way to create a sense of closeness with digital characters, which could change how VTuber and character events are staged.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlanner Taiki Kashiwagi said the idea came from fans who want to \u0026#34;directly touch my favorite oshi on the other side of the screen,\u0026#34; and that the goal is to create memories beyond watching videos or buying goods.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe company frames the attraction as a fix for the \u0026#34;one-way communication\u0026#34; of traditional exhibitions and novelty distribution, where fans mostly watch or buy.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHearts appear on screen when a user pats a character, and characters can show surprise or smiles in response.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVTuber dialogue examples include \u0026#34;Thanks for patting me!\u0026#34; alongside the \u0026#34;I can see you patting my head!\u0026#34; line.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe company suggests uses beyond fan events: collaboration cafes can offer patting as a \u0026#34;special experience privilege\u0026#34; for merchandise purchasers, and commercial facilities, theme parks, and roadside stations can use it as a digital attraction to draw families.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOhtani Design Laboratory is based in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, was established April 14, 1971, and handles projection mapping planning and production, video content production, and event direction.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThe play screen image in the announcement uses a model named Obake Nano.\u003c/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMoguLive reports the launch date as July 30, 2026, and says the company conceived the plan from the fan desire to \u0026#34;touch the oshi on the other side of the screen.\u0026#34;\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Bui Nade! lets you pat VTubers on screen with hand tracking, and the VTuber can see where you're patting and say \"I can see you patting my head!\"","twitterPost":"Ohtani Design Laboratory's new Bui Nade! attraction uses hand-tracking sensors to let fans pat anime characters, with reactions like shy expressions and limited voices.
