hololive Announces New Streaming App, hololive raku

hololive production has introduced hololive raku, a new app designed to make talents’ regular at-home streams more visually expressive and interactive. The app is scheduled to appear in talents’ streams gradually. Raku supports richer lighting and material rendering, flexible camera angles, and high-quality stages and items previously developed for studio streams and Holoearth. It also works with Cover’s holoEmotion facial-expression technology, can reflect the use of keyboards, mice, and gamepads, and expands collaboration features. Viewers will be able to join through YouTube-chat-linked minigames and polls, allowing audience participation to influence streams in real time.
