Project GYOOOL
My work usually has to do with virtual environments and experiences, but I’ve always believed that characters and people are the no.1 factor that bring them to life.
I’ve been a lifelong singer and have been meaning to start my own Vtuber channel.
So I finally built my own avatar from scratch, ready for live production.

Character Design
I began with her story:
A space traveler who fell in love with the past.
With future technology, GYOOOL(like yule) transmits her cover of old songs into the past via someone’s YouTube channel.
I mixed elements of Hanbok(Korean dress) with future techwear and sprinkled some Frutiger Aero vibes.
Technical Setup
This is a demo of my facial expression and hand movements moving the character in real time.
Setting up AR kit Blendshapes to make clear expressions was a key process.
Technical Documentation
As my first avatar project, I had a lot to learn about how it is set up technically.
I wrote documentation to help my own learning and future self.
Production Output
Set up and filmed in Warudo.
