Handwaving Animation

Angry Expression Toggle

A look at the full model with all toggles and animations

Imagine a world where people talk to machines….

Well… almost. What you see in front of you is me! Well, a version of me presented to you as I want to be seen! This is a live2D model connected to the program Vtube Studio that allows me to communicate and interact with you from the comfort of my computer screen. The model captures my facial movements, voice, and physical movements to give you the feeling of my presence despite the fact that you cannot see the “real” me. Come talk to me! I’d love to hear what you have to say! Do you feel silly talking to an animated drawing? Does it feel like I am really there? Can you be sure I am a person behind the screen or an incredibly intelligent AI responding to your voice? So many questions, only one way to answer…

Which are unfortunately not here! At the Hammer theater people were able to come up and interact with me via a computer set up in the gallery!
