REALITY Studios Adopts Markerless Motion Capture System Captury
The markerless system collapses the staff and preparation a 3D stream used to demand, which is what lets a company running three VTuber labels promise higher-frequency 3D content rather than the occasional live events its previous setup allowed.

REALITY Studios Inc. announced on September 1 that it has installed the markerless motion capture system Captury in its own studio. The system uses multiple cameras placed around a capture area to detect a performer's skeleton automatically, so VTubers can be recorded in everyday clothes without a tight-fitting suit, markers, or calibration. It captures finger motion as well as whole-body movement and can record several people at once, and the company says it can be operated without a specialist. The company said the change shortens the preparation that conventional motion capture required and reduces the physical burden on talent. REALITY Studios also optimized its studio facilities alongside the installation, bringing streams that previously needed staff for audio, direction, and cameras down to a setup close to one-person operation. Use in streaming has already begun. Misa Ajimi's third anniversary stream, which featured Ring Fit gameplay, was reproduced in 3D, as were a collaboration singing stream by Toto Setono and Nagi Minase and a three-person eating battle stream by Tsukasa Ryougoku. REALITY Studios operates the VTuber production companies RK Music, Specialite, and FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION, and plans to increase the frequency of 3D content using the system.
Captury is distributed in Japan by Spice Inc., and REALITY Studios' announcement frames the installation as part of a broader push to support its talent, which includes the three production labels RK Music, Specialite, and FIRST STAGE PRODUCTION as well as individual VTubers working outside a label. The company said the system's appeal is that a performer can walk into the capture area in ordinary clothes and be measured immediately, with no calibration and no specialist operator. That contrasts with conventional motion capture, which required a tight-fitting suit and numerous markers, with changing clothes and calibration eating into recording time and adding physical burden.
The streams already held with the system show the range the company intends. Misa Ajimi's third anniversary stream captured her Ring Fit movements, which the announcement's headline noted down to her thighs. Toto Setono and Nagi Minase sang together in 3D with minimal preparation, and Tsukasa Ryougoku's eating battle stream used three-person simultaneous capture. REALITY Studios said it plans to raise the frequency of 3D content using Captury going forward.
