Chapter 62. [3D Unveiling]

A movie plays on the Stream screen.

The history of “Iroha, the Translator Girl” is displayed one after another, then disappears.

A logo decorated the end of the movie.

It was the adorably decorated words “IROHA 3D Debut & Birthday Festival”.

After everything disappeared, only a silhouette remained.

Poof, the screen brightened, and then.

“‘My words to you!'” I’m Iroha, the Translator girl! I’m finally in 3D!”

>Irohalo!

>UUWWOOOOOGGGGHHHH!!!!!

>¥50,000 Happy 3D & Happy Birthday!!!!

I spin around and pose for a moment.

A beat later, “Iroha” on the stream spins around too.

>What’s going on? Too cute!

>Gyuute!

>$500.00 Happy Birthday! (U.S.)

“Thank you! So, to celebrate my birthday, I made my 3D debut. A major office fully backed this stream. I couldn’t have bought all this equipment by myself. I’m very grateful for their support

>I think that’s Anego’s office, right? www

>Thank you, management

>I’m sure it would cost tens of millions of dollars to do this level of tracking

So here I am, visiting Ah-nee’s office.

I’m in their studio with cameras and lights pointed at me from all directions.

I wear it pleasantly right now.

Full-body tights for tracking, gloves, and headgear.

Each captures the movements of my entire body, fingers, facial expressions, and mouth.

“But I still can’t get used to talking while moving in 3D like this… Hah. I’m getting tired already.”

>Too much energy, LOL

>I can see how dull you look in 3D.

>Are you feeling okay?

Because of its high accuracy, even the smallest movements get conveyed to the viewer.

This equipment is called optical tracking.

If I want to do 3D, I don’t need something this big.

Unless you want to track multiple people at the same time.

I could borrow this equipment because Ah-nee and Angu Ogu approached their office and said, We want to do a 3D collaboration for the memorial distribution.

I wanted to say that it was a proposal from the office.

That’s how much they bought me, I guess.

The number of registered users has increased.

It was a long time ago that the number of my subscribers exceeded 500,000.

If the 3D version of the site is the catalyst, it is no longer a dream to exceed one million subscribers.

This is an extraordinary number for an individual group.

That’s how big the overseas demand was.

If we were not making this proposal, I would have rented a studio for my personal use.

The cost was tens of thousands of yen per hour.

Well, it was a realistic price.

It would have been difficult to make such a large-scale project and collaboration.

I also consider other options, such as purchasing VR equipment or an inertial motion capture device.

Both are inexpensive and take up less space than optical devices, but has drawbacks such as gradual misalignment, making them difficult to use.

“I’m in perfect physical condition! Don’t worry! I’m weak from the start. By the way, here on the screen! Here! That’s the description, so everyone can comment in whatever language you like.”

I bounced around, indicating the text displayed diagonally above the delivery screen.

Oh, I was a little off. It was right around here.

>Can you handle this many different languages? (U.S.)

>I laughed at the chaos in the comment section (France)

>PyonPyonPyon Cute (Korea)

I have several monitors hanging in front of and beside me.

Each displayed a screen of streams, chats, or a written message.

I’m streaming the chat while glancing at them.

Now, I’m still streaming.

The background of the screen is blank.

“The screen is a bit lonely. It’s not unusual in virtual space, but there’s nothing around. But then, here it is!”

A rattle pulls a cart from off-screen.

There was a world map and a dart set on it.

>LOL

>It’s a darts trip www

>A famous Japanese comedy show? (U.K.)

“I would like to play in the country where this dart won. If it’s virtual, travel is instantaneous. I’ll show everyone in England, the home of darts, how cool it is. Hoi….”

I pretended I was throwing darts.

One of the staff runs with a dart with a tracker and stabs it in a country.

>The darts fly so slowly! wwww

>This is a hundred times the same. wwww

>It’s not so easy to get it stuck wwww

“Okay? I’m ready! What? I didn’t throw it? Well, let’s see, where is this country? Wow, Germany! Let’s go there!”

I thrust my arm up while reading like a stick.
