AIRI has adopted a highly compatible character display solution that supports both VRM and Live2D, two of the most popular avatar formats today. This design decision allows the project to reach the widest possible user base, both 3D avatar enthusiasts and 2D anime style preferences.
In terms of technical implementation, AIRI's character system has several outstanding features: it includes an automated micro-expression system, such as natural blinking movements; it implements a line-of-sight tracking function that enables the virtual character to follow the user's mouse; and it supports real-time motion adjustments, which allow the user to change the character's presentation through simple operations. All these animation effects are realized based on the Juno technology stack, ensuring smoothness and realism.
It is also very simple to use: users only need to upload their own VRM or Live2D model files on the setup page. This low-threshold design makes it easy to create a personalized virtual companion even for those who don't have professional 3D modeling knowledge, fully reflecting AIRI's core design concept of "customizability".
