Hello everyone and happy New Year!
I’m Mukudorin, a product manager at REALITY.
Did everyone have a wonderful holiday?
It’s actually been a long time since I last wrote something for the Newsletter. Now that I think about it is was the December issue of the 2022 Newsletter so about 2 years ago? At the time I was obsessed with an anime called Summer Time Rendering. It’s a bit nostalgic. This year my New Year's obsession has been Orb: On the Movements of the Earth.
It’s an anime based in 15th century Europe focussing on individuals doing forbidden research on how the earth moves. You may have studied this in school, but during this time period, humans believed that the sun was moving around the earth rather than the earth moving around the sun. Doing research stating otherwise was considered an affront to god and banned in many European countries.
The anime focuses on different individuals who work and fight to find the truth rather than the false narrative that was told to them. The Japanese title is a play on words with Chi being used in the word for Earth, Blood, and Knowledge three central themes in the work. As the main character learns more about the earth movement theory he feels beauty in how the world works, and the way that each character expresses themselves is my favorite part of the story.
Speaking of movement, Last year REALITY added the ability to use mocopi motion capture in REALITY allowing for full body tracking in REALITY for the first time.
I’ve been watching Vtubers use specialized studios to sing and dance since 2018, so this feels like a huge moment to me.
Back in the day, you had to wear full-body suits covered in countless wires that cost tens of thousands of dollars, so to be able to do full-body movement so cheaply and easily is an amazing accomplishment in my mind.
We’ve wanded to support full body tracking for a while but for that we needed full 3D avatars, 3D spaces, and devices that would allow us to do the tracking. With Avatar 2.0 and the room feature, I’m glad we have finally been able to achieve that goal.
In 2025 I want to make REALITY even more freeing and get even closer to allow anyone to be whomever they want to be!
Have a wonderful New Year everyone!
Happy New Year everyone! It's the community manager IKURA!
Every year I always get sick during the holidays, and this year was no exception so I slept my entire holiday away…
Which is why I decided to make my message this year in the form of a video!
