Virtual YouTubers
Virtual YouTubers, often called VTubers, are online content creators who use animated avatars to represent themselves. These avatars are typically designed in a anime style and are controlled in real-time using motion capture technology. VTubers create a variety of content, including gaming, music, and chatting with their audience, all while maintaining the persona of their virtual character.
The rise of VTubers began in Japan and has since spread globally, attracting millions of fans. Platforms like YouTube and Twitch are popular for VTuber content, allowing creators to interact with viewers through live streams and pre-recorded videos. This unique blend of animation and personality has made VTubers a significant part of online entertainment.
