Trials New Streaming System That Animates Static VTuber Illustrations","summary":"Cover Corp. announced a new streaming system that adds body sway, lip-sync, and facial expressions to VTuber trainees who previously used only static illustrations. The system debuted on June 24 with mekPark unit member Yozuna Neon, with other members scheduled to follow. Cover developed the system independently and is rolling it out across mekPark and holoAN.","whyItMatters":"The system lowers the technical barrier for early-stage VTubers by animating static art without full 3D tracking, potentially changing how new talents debut and stream.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eCover Corp. began trialing a new streaming system on June 24 that brings motion to VTuber trainees who previously streamed with static illustrations. Yozuna Neon, vocalist of mekPark trainee unit UNIT B, was the first to use it. Her stream showed real-time head bobbing, mouth movements, and facial expressions like smiles. Fellow unit members Reimei Mira and Kiyosumi Laira are scheduled to get the same support. Cover Corp. developed the system in-house and plans to roll it out sequentially through mekPark and holoAN.
