a game and i am guiding. i'm guiding mario through his quest for the princess. some people also see avatars just as tools that make sense. and of course, i myself always enjoy being mario when i'm on my nintendo outside of asia, 2 of a ta stars and virtual influences have long been involved in advertising and entertainment. rely popstars increasingly interested in the business? especially us addis, for example. american repre, travis scott. his appearance in the video game fortnight is still considered one of the biggest and most expensive virtual avatar events. travis scott's gigantic avatar, only wrapped for 9 minutes on fortnight. but he reportedly scooped up $20000000.00 us dollars for the virtual concert. at an end person show stars of this caliber would maybe earn about $1000000.00 more than $12000000.00 people tuned in a huge success for both the rapper and the game developer and numbers like that are

a major draw for brands caught up placement like the huge sneakers, the avatar, as wearing, is especially effective. the coven 19 pandemic has increased to the trend of virtual concert. other big stars like justin bieber john legend and arianna grande's also hosted virtual concerts and 2021. c yes, not o even sweden's iconic pop group, abba is relying on avatars to realize a new project voyage. starting in may, benny yearn anita and unafraid can be admired as holograms in their custom built arena in london to perform their new virtual concerts. the 4 avatars were made to look several decades. younger fans will have to pay a hefty price to see them. tickets range from $50.00 to $400.00 euros. virtual influencers are another mega trend and the global avatar market. here they get by

without any human blueprint with some 3000000 followers on instagram and 3 and a half 1000000 followers on tick tock. flo mikaela is among the best known virtual influencers. the fact that she openly reflects upon her existence as a 19 year old robot only seems to make lo mckayla more attractive to followers and advertisers. her developers can earn around $8500.00 us dollars per sponsored post . blue dumas gallow from brazil has even more followers then little mikaela, 5800000 on instagram. she's especially popular in brazil, her country of origin being and kim zulu. from south africa models, international designs. virtual influencers may hold a certain appeal to brands. not only do they not age or get sick, they can avoid unsavoury scandals too. and that's not all. another type of, of

a da style is rising and taking the world by storm. they're already a fixture in the streaming and gaming scene. v tubers lead you lighted switch. i'll teach you being a short for that. will you chew that m as us as it's basically the same idea as a classic you chiva, except when virtual avatar is to have a face can face camera that's cause even noticed, it made its way to was through hollow like english schooler life, which is kind of like an agency for the cheapest roots in japan or, and i was offered for you. i'm your punishment on that was ginger, a german v tube with more than 65000 follows and twitch and over 75000 subscribers on youtube. the south korean american develop a, you know, kang, is even more famous. her channel code michael has about 850000 twitch followers and nearly 400000 subscribers on youtube. on her stream, she becomes mico, the unemployed heroine of her own computer game oral. whenever she appears as a real person, it's in the role of mico developer,

the technician. mico is known for her attention grabbing stunts, and from a technical standpoint, she's perfected her performance. her stream is highly interactive. chat messages are displayed across the front of me, co shirt and for a fee. her fans on twitch can trigger certain responses and her virtual studio right. the avatars movements are so fluid because nickos technician is wearing a motion capture suit worth. many thousands of euro's specialized software transmits the streamers every move to the avatar and high resolution. and in real time, if you're thinking, can i get famous with my avatar too? i have good news. you don't even need a large studio on the expensive motion cup to suit. take a look at this. all you need to capture uses movements is a laptop,

use a taller avatar, you'll negotiate more aggressively, not just in the virtual environment, but afterwards. these are more attractive avatar, you'll have more social competence, you'll stand closer to people in the virtual environment. my favorite one is if you use an inventor avatar compared to a street close avatar, the mentor has, you know, a lab code and a clipboard. you'll actually come up with more creative ideas. the identity of the avatar will influence how you interact with other people and see yourself. unlike os avatar stone age, their movements are surprisingly realistic and some can even sing. but in order to stay relevant and stake up to the competition, they need to keep advancing technologically and stay on top of the latest trends. otherwise, they're korea's could soon be over. so ah avatars. more than just a fad. what do you think? troubles are common on youtube. all right, as an email, that's all for to day. take care and bye bye. ah
