ABSTRACT
"REALITY" is a live entertainment creation service for virtual avatars aka VTubers. It was created to enable a live entertainment ecosystem staffed with real time CG characters. The platform not only allows interaction with audience and VTubers using a professional motion capture studio, but also formatting virtual beings encouraging community engagements with a culture that is moving towards an avatar society using today's smartphone app that has real time facial capture.
