This is the best summary I could come up with:

There are two parts to the Obskur platform: a free OBS-like streaming application built using Unreal Engine 5 and a $1,995 “Mocap Box” that provides the actual tracking hardware for controlling a virtual avatar.

You could either use camera-based tracking software, which can be affordable but not especially reliable or accurate, or do what notable Vtuber CodeMiko did and drop a mountain of cash to buy a professional motion capture suit.

Everything has been intentionally designed to make Vtubing as easy as possible, even down to the StretchSense gloves from the Mocap Box being machine washable and fingerless to better support gaming during streams.

Movella says the Xsense mocap sensors can provide up to 12 hours of battery life for long streaming sessions, which is plenty of time to get those gloves sweaty.

Sony has similarly entered the Vtubing scene recently with its $449 Mocopi sensors, but those lack finger tracking and only provide around 90 minutes of battery life.

Considering it’s built upon industry-standard equipment that can cost as much as a brand-new car, Movella’s Obskur platform is a bargain that manages to undercut most of the comparable solutions already on the market.

I’m a bot and I’m open source!
