I was recently fascinated by an article in Financial Times about virtual youtubing*.  Being the new major trend at Youtube.  According to Kevin Allocca, Head of Culture and Trends at YouTube, there have been 5,000 channels (since May 2019) self-describing as "virtual youtubers" and videos from these channels got more than a billion views.

So was wondering whether there were any members who have created virtual videos themselves?  Or are interested in such?

I'd have thought this to be a major element in the design of new games.  Looks as though this is an area where lots of money can be made if you hit it right?

What software would one use to create these videos with?

The above didn't come up for me when I Googled the article. However, may annoy other members as well, so have removed the Financial Times article link. If you are keen to read it maybe you could Google it with search words

. I tried it a second time with Firefox, and was also able to get the article without being prompted for signing up.

Oh yeah I've seen these virtual youtubers before, another great example of virtual character is Hatsune Miku, She's a japanese character and even helds physical tours where they use a virtual projection to show her on stage, I am sure you'll love it if you haven't seen her in action before
