Hyper is the ultimate app for avatar creators. 1. Build an avatar persona in our Avatar Builder and become a VTuber! If you already have your own VRoid 3D avatars or VRM files, those work great with Hyper too. Import the files and use them in our recording studio to create content for TikTok, Twitch, X, or just to share with friends. 2. You can use our studio to shoot and record as a VTuber right from your phone. With our advanced facial motion capture technology, you can bring your virtual identity to life in any way you like - whether it's a cute, silly, or scary avatar. 3. With OBS mode and the Hyper OBS plugin, you can stream your output directly to your computer to use with Discord calls, Twitch streams, or Zoom meetings! Hyper is constantly evolving, and we're always improving our avatar technology and support for more devices.
