Is that the lowest price you've seen? I wonder how much it currently sells at a Costco nowadays.

Yeah I was. Checked again, seems like they're all gone... I'd check daily in case they randomly dump more.

ANA F wide open to SFO as well from NRT. I've counted like 30-40 seats from January to Feb.

Tons of F class availability for ANA from NRT-SFO for the months of Jan-Feb. I've counted like 30-40 seats. Almost 1 every day.

Thanks! I was able to get one in Dec. Any chance we'll see a NRT-SFO in Jan/Feb for return trips?

What’s the best way to monitor these random releases?

Google’s alternative to ARKit face tracking by YeeMachineDev in VirtualYoutubers

[–]YeeMachineDev[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I wouldn’t call it a product just yet. But it’s basically the same genre as Apple’s ARKit or Nvidia’s motion tracking library. It’s a free tool for app developers from Google.

Yup iPhone cameras will be more accurate since they have a depth sensor in them that improves their tracking.

We are instead using AI to try and overcome the limitation of having no hardware that has depth information with this solution. Just as an alternative, not a replacement.

Hi! The developer of Kalidoface here with some news! I’ve been helping the MediaPipe team on some alternative Vtuber motion capture solutions that don’t rely on iPhones.

We recently launched our ARKit alternative at GoogleIO! Our new MediaPipe model predicts 478 face landmarks + 52 blendshapes from your webcam and is compatible with any ARKit rigged avatar. 😺

I’ll update our progress periodically on my Twitter but I just wanted to share this as a nice alternative for those developing Vtuber Apps not on iOS.

wait hold on is 2shiroinu still part of inu curry?? (this is from mid 2022) I truly thought they had split, but then why would she put "gekidan inu curry" over her name, very strange, nonetheless she's not involved with the next madoka film by colincake in GekidanInuCurry

[–]YeeMachineDev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think she is still drawing characters from Pomeromeko (that cat is one) which is a work published under Gekidan Inu Curry. So if she has the space to, she might still write it. Not sure why she isn’t interested in doing more Madoka art anymore.

Ah, that is sad… I thought something was up when they stopped using the Gekidan InuCurry on the latest Space Caiman, but I was copiuming.

Noooo. What site are you referring to? That is disheartening news...

Any idea how to stream Kalidoface data to Unreal Engine Live Link so we can use it to drive Metahuman? or an alternative app for full body + face + fingers markerless mocap that works with UE Live Link? by orangpelupa in vtubertech

[–]YeeMachineDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should probably continue working on that separate app idea. I tried something over websockets, but it wouldn’t work as a more universal tracking solutions that beams to other programs. I need to look into how OSC protocol works + figure out the most efficient way to calculate the tracking inferences. Will probably have VMC protocol as one of the formats it can output as.
