## What is otemoto XR?

Film your desk from directly above, and your real hands and arms are replaced with the hands and arms of a VRM avatar in real time.

- Objects in your hands, items on the desk and the background stay real. Only your hands and arms become the avatar's
- Follows finger bending, palm turning and even the elbow direction in real time
- Desk shadows, outlines, shade color, rim light, offset rim and light color (auto mode matches the video)
- Bloom, depth of field and vignette blur
- One-tap recording with microphone audio, saved to Photos
- Sends arm and finger motion to your PC with the VMC protocol
- Supports VRM 0.x / 1.0. Load any model from the Files app, and show or hide parts such as clothes
- VRoid Hub support: load the models you posted and the models you hearted directly
- Shows each model's terms of use
- All video is processed on your device. No data is collected
- Comes with a sample avatar so you can try it right away

Great for product reviews, drawing streams, and filming cooking or crafts from above.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-24

- Added material recording. Along with "Video only" recording, you can save layers for video editing to the Files app: the 3D hands with a mask and depth, the original camera footage, the background with your hands removed, the desk shadow, motion as BVH, camera motion for Blender, and audio
- Added color adjustment for the VRM only (saturation, brightness, contrast, and a bottom-to-top gradient), to blend it with the live footage and match the mood
- When calibration fails to measure your hand size, the previous values are kept. Calibration also succeeds more easily when shooting handheld
- Hands of people far in the background are less likely to be picked up
- An open hand with the palm facing the camera is less likely to be shown as a fist

### 1.0.2 — 2026-10-08

- VRoid Hub support: load the models you posted and the models you hearted, without preparing files
- Shooting while moving (handheld or neck mount) is now supported. Calibration automatically detects whether the iPhone is placed on a desk
- Added a calibration guide (where to place your hands, and a level)
- Improved the finger shapes of fists and other grips, and how the wrists and elbows follow your arms
- Added shoulder width adjustment and a fist curl setting
- Added a realistic hand sample VRM
- Reorganized the settings screen

### 1.0.0 — 2026-10-05

No release notes.
