They focus on virtual YouTubers (VTubers), that has be en gaining popularity on the internet. Despite the current VTubers being c reated as 3D models, they lack actual stereoscopic capabilities. VTuber ch aracters can feel more lifelike upon introduction of stereoscopic visuals, allowing creators to expand their ideas and unlocking significant potenti al in the metaverse era. In this study, each student captures video footag e of their upper body using their laptop’s web camera. Then, they combine various freely available software tools online to create stereoscopic VTub er videos without the need for special equipment. The students produce con tent using techniques, such as anaglyph videos (using red-blue glasses), l enticular lenses, and fly’s eye lenses for autostereoscopic viewing. They also add audio to the VTuber content, and at the end of the exercise, the y hold a “Stereoscopic VTuber” presentation, where mutual evaluations are conducted. Results of the student surveys indicate a positive outcome in t erms of their increased interest in related technologies and enhanced crea tive motivation. This practical course holds significant values as an educ ation that combines information media art, system-oriented thinking, and A I technologies.\n\nRegistration Category: Full Access, Enhanced Access, Tr ade Exhibitor, Experience Hall Exhibitor\n\n URL:https://asia.siggraph.org/2023/full-program?id=edu_111&sess=sess305 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
