HIROMEIRO Full-Body Tracking System Gets Official Release

Kushinada Kikou released the official version of its 3D avatar control system HIROMEIRO on September 17, 2026. The system performs full-body tracking of a 3D avatar using a single camera, with no device attachment and no dedicated suit or markers required. It recognizes whole-body movement even in everyday clothing. HIROMEIRO has been offered as a development version since 2023, refined through streaming activities of the company's affiliated virtual talent, Hiro Rinne. The official version supports VRM, the file format widely used as a standard for 3D avatars. Streaming-oriented modes are included, such as a green back mode for easy background compositing and an upper-body-only tracking mode for seated streaming. A vertical video shooting function is also available for short-form content. The PC tracking app can hide the input video to prevent identity exposure. Tracking processing is separated from avatar display, so tracking can run on a different device to distribute processing load.

Kushinada Kikou Co., Ltd. is based in Toshima-ku, Tokyo, and lists Hiroaki Yaguchi as representative director. The company was founded in 2018 and says it continues research and development aimed at solving social issues through robotics technology centered on visual recognition.

HIROMEIRO tracks a single camera as its only piece of equipment. The official version supports VRM avatars. A separate application records and plays back tracking results. Movements are saved in a data format lighter than video, and saved movements can be played back at normal speed. The tracking app comes in a desktop PC version, an Android version, and a Python version for developers. HIROMEIRO is downloadable from the official website. The development version had been offered since 2023, and operational testing continued through the streaming activities of the company's affiliated virtual talent, Hiro Rinne.
