The current count of virtual YouTubers is about to grow exponentially as the release of “Virtual Cast” allows any old lonely otaku to become an anime girl on YouTube – assuming they aren’t completely ignored, randomly banned by a moderator AI, or have all their revenues stolen by a suspect copyright claim.

Virtual Cast allows anyone with an HTC Vive in their possession to achieve their dream of becoming an anime girl, as the program mirrors their movement with a 3D CG model of their choosing (the program comes with a variety of sample girls).

A promotional video of the software in use:

Virtual Cast is completely free to use (save for the requirement of having an HTC Vive) regardless of the user’s commercial or non-commercial endeavors.
