A spatial reality display booth (see below), which featured in the first showcase, also offered employees an early-stage hands-on experience of the technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Cover Showcase does not merely deepen our understanding of services offered by COVER and cutting-edge initiatives adopted in our operations. It also serves as an opportunity to share insights with the entire production team by showcasing technologies currently in development, initiatives that address specific issues, and potential use cases to a wide range of employees, encouraging them to identify where such innovations could be used. The event also aims to create a strong bond among employees who do not usually have a chance to interact with one another.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This second edition of the Cover Showcase was organized following the positive reception of the first event. With more than double the number of exhibits and an increase in participants compared to the first time it was held, the event was a resounding success, with employees who had intended to work from home making the trip into the office just to take part. Next, we would like to highlight some of the featured exhibits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>\u203b1:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acuity-inc.co.jp\/products\/captury\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Captury<\/a> is a real-time markerless motion capturing system provided by DARI Motion, Inc.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">INDEX<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/en\/list\/6320\/#Demonstration_of_the_hololive_App_A_hands-on_demo_teaching_you_how_to_use_the_%E2%80%9Chololive_App%E2%80%9D\" >Demonstration of the hololive App: A hands-on demo teaching you how to use the \u201chololive App\u201d<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/en\/list\/6320\/#hololive_VR_Experience_A_VR_experience_where_talents_are_within_arms_reach\" >hololive VR Experience: A VR experience where talents are within arm\u2019s reach<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/en\/list\/6320\/#Spatial_Reality_Display\" >Spatial Reality Display<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/en\/list\/6320\/#Introduction_of_Efforts_for_Quick_Merchandise_Planning_and_Sales_Faster_turnaround_of_trending_topics_into_merchandise\" >Introduction of Efforts for Quick Merchandise Planning and Sales : Faster turnaround of trending topics into merchandise<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/en\/list\/6320\/#Art_Engineering_Team_Initiatives\" >Art Engineering Team Initiatives<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/en\/list\/6320\/#Development_Team_3_Initiatives\" >Development Team #3 Initiatives<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/en\/list\/6320\/#The_Complete_Guide_to_holo_Indie\" >The Complete Guide to holo Indie!!<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Demonstration_of_the_hololive_App_A_hands-on_demo_teaching_you_how_to_use_the_%E2%80%9Chololive_App%E2%80%9D\"><\/span><strong><strong>Demonstration of the hololive App<\/strong><\/strong>: A hands-on demo teaching you how to use the \u201chololive App\u201d <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Development Team #2, Technology Development Division, Creative Production Department<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This booth featured a hands-on demo of the \u201chololive app\u201d<sup>2<\/sup> that hololive talents use to stream from home. Equipped with facial and hand-tracking features, this app allows for precise adjustments to tracking parameters, but employees not directly involved with streaming rarely have a chance to use it. Therefore, this booth was a great opportunity for those unfamiliar with the app to experience how talents use the app when on stream by actually moving models themselves and trying out new features, such as one that was recently added allowing the camera angle to be adjusted so that models can be shown from their cutest side. Through in-house development, hololive is constantly adding detailed options based on our talents\u2019 requests, and we are also working to secure the rights to our proprietary technology behind the \u201chololive app\u201d through patent applications in order to continuously deliver COVER\u2019s unique experiential value to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>\u203b2: COVER\u2019s own streaming tracking app used by our talents when streaming.<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"726\" src=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/COVERedge_Showcase2026_1-1024x726.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/COVERedge_Showcase2026_1-1024x726.webp 1024w, https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/COVERedge_Showcase2026_1-300x213.webp 300w, https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/COVERedge_Showcase2026_1-768x545.webp 768w, https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/COVERedge_Showcase2026_1-1536x1090.webp 1536w, https:\/\/dkgy1yki8xgbd.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/COVERedge_Showcase2026_1.webp 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference article: <br>The hololive App Accessory Feature Enhancing the Power of Expression!\uff08Japanese articles only\uff09<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t<div class=\"blogcard ex wide\">\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/coveredge.cover-corp.com\/list\/3907\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t<div class=\"blogcard-wrapper\">\n\n\t\t\t<div class=\"blogcard-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coveredge.cover-corp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/COVERTech\u30b5\u30e0\u30cd-4.png\" width=\"100%\" \/><\/div>\n      <div class=\"blogcard-body\">\n        <p class=\"blogcard-url\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"favicon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/s2\/favicons?domain=https:\/\/coveredge.cover-corp.com\/list\/3907\">https:\/\/coveredge.cover-corp.com\/list\/3907<\/p>\n        <div class=\"blogcard-texts\">\n          <h3 class=\"blogcard-title\">\u8868\u73fe\u529b\u30a2\u30c3\u30d7\uff01 \u30db\u30ed\u30e9\u30a4\u30d6\u30a2\u30d7\u30ea\u306e\u30a2\u30af\u30bb\u30b5\u30ea\u30fc\u6a5f\u80fd | COVERedge<\/h3>\n        <\/div>\n        <p class=\"blogcard-description\">\u3053\u3093\u3070\u3093\u30c9\u30c9\u30c9\u301c\uff01\ud83d\udc0f \u30ab\u30d0\u30fc\u682a\u5f0f\u4f1a\u793e\u30af\u30ea\u30a8\u30a4\u30c6\u30a3\u30d6\u5236\u4f5c\u672c\u90e8\u6280\u8853\u958b\u767a\u90e8\u306eK\u3067\u3059\u3002 \u4eca\u56de\u306e\u8a18\u4e8b\u3067\u306f\u3001\u30bf\u30ec\u30f3\u30c8\u3055\u3093\u304c\u666e\u6bb5\u306e\u914d\u4fe1\u3067\u5229\u7528\u3057\u3066\u3044\u308b\u30db\u30ed\u30e9\u30a4\u30d6\u30a2\u30d7\u30ea\u306b\u304a\u3051\u308b\u30a2\u30af\u30bb\u30b5\u30ea\u30fc\u6a5f\u80fd\u306b\u3064\u3044\u3066\u7d39\u4ecb\u3057\u307e\u3059\u3002 \u30a2\u30af\u30bb\u30b5\u30ea\u30fc\u6a5f\u80fd\u3068\u306f \u30db | COVERedge<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"hololive_VR_Experience_A_VR_experience_where_talents_are_within_arms_reach\"><\/span><strong><strong>hololive VR Experience<\/strong><\/strong>: A VR experience where talents are within arm\u2019s reach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Development Team #1, Technology Development Division, Creative Production Department<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This technology was experimentally developed from the idea that hololive content and VR appear to be a great fit. This combination allows users to watch talents\u2019 3D videos as if they were in the same space, with users potentially able to wave a virtual penlight if a controller is connected. This technology has a wide range of promising use cases, depending on the content we create; for example, using it at a future event booth may enable us to provide experiences where visitors can interact with talents in real time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Spatial_Reality_Display\"><\/span><strong><strong>Spatial Reality Display<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Development Team #1, Technology Development Division, Creative Production Department<br>Motion Capture, Studio Maintenance and Sound Teams, Livestream Technology Division,&nbsp;Creative Production Department<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An interactive hands-on spatial reality display<sup>3<\/sup> demo with future applications in mind was the main feature of this booth, attracting a lot of interest from event participants. This display allows viewers to watch content in 3D (stereoscopic images) without wearing 3D glasses, and since viewers needed to be tracked by a camera, only one person was able to try it out at a time. While the image looks slightly blurred when one looks at it from the side of the display, standing front-on allows the viewer to see a clear stereoscopic image, and when one stands up while watching the screen, it looks as if they are looking down at the talent, and looking up at them when they crouch down, as if the talent is right there in front of them. This display also featured at the <a href=\"https:\/\/coveredge.cover-corp.com\/en\/list\/5418\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hololive production official shop in Harajuku<\/a>, which opened in April 2026, to showcase special videos. While the display is a third-party product, the Technology Development Division develops software to suit the company\u2019s needs. There is much to look forward to, as this could lead to a variety of unique hololive content only limited by our imagination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><sup>\u203b3: <sup>&nbsp;<\/sup>The display used
