Read full description

It is an AR application that allows you to go out in the form of an avatar! Just by walking with your iPad or iPhone, you can go out with your avatar. You can even use the motion captured by SONY's "mocopi" to take pictures as if the avatar were real! You can use your favorite avatar from VRoid Hub. Even in an environment where the Internet cannot be used, you can use the VRM by placing it in the "odekakeAR/VRMModels" from the "Files" app. * When using the app, ensure the safety of your surroundings before using it. If you have an avatar that supports Perfect Sync, your face will move very smoothly. You can move the eyes and mouth even with non-compatible avatars. * Face tracking cannot be used on the 2020 iPad series and iPhone SE (2nd generation) due to hardware specifications.
