This augmented reality (AR) application allows users to become an avatar and explore the world around them. By simply walking with their iPad or iPhone, users can project their avatar into the real environment, creating an immersive experience. This feature transforms everyday outdoor activities into a fun and interactive virtual adventure, making it ideal for entertainment, social sharing, or even exploring virtual identities.
The app also offers the capability to capture motion data through SONY's "mocopi" system, enabling users to make their avatar mimic real-life movements. This allows for more dynamic and realistic interactions, such as taking pictures as if the avatar were a living person. This feature enhances the engagement level of the app, giving users a more lifelike experience when interacting with their virtual persona.
Additionally, users can select their preferred avatars from VRoid Hub, a popular platform for creating and sharing custom avatars. The app supports loading these avatars in VRM format, and users can utilize them even without an internet connection. By placing the VRM files into the designated "odekakeAR/VRMModels" folder via the Files app, users can enjoy continuous access to their favorite characters offline, adding convenience and flexibility.
For optimal performance, the app supports advanced face and motion tracking features, especially if the avatar supports "Perfect Sync," ensuring smooth facial movements. Users can also control eye and mouth movements even with non-compatible avatars. However, due to hardware limitations, face tracking features are not available on the 2020 iPad series and iPhone SE (2nd generation). Users are advised to ensure their surroundings are safe before using the app to prevent accidents during outdoor use.
