A pint-sized Hakurei Reimu dances fantastically on an otaku destktop whilst chibi Marisa, or “Chibimari,” charmingly does a little ditty in these excellent MADs, made with MikuMiku Dance (a free tool for choreographing CG animated anime characters) and ARToolKit (a free tool for making Augmented Reality virtual figurines).
Such impressively fluid animation manages to make traditionally animated scenes of motion look embarrassingly backward (or at least the majority of cheap ones), and the ability of these characters to inhabit the real world opens even more possibilities.
The fact that both tools and models are freely available and rapidly improving in quality may indeed have some interesting implications in years to come.

I've seen better
I thought that second one looked ridiculous. Both the girl and the song were awful.
This is not a comment its a portal to the dimension known as the internet but you just can't get inside your computer yet. I am from the future I have foreseen this and it will be done.
Damn it. I'm still struggling to use ARToolKit. Damn camera won't respond!
Both were really Good I wish He didn't use Hatsune Miku's voice though... It just doesn't fit Reimu... I think It's because I hear too much Miku anyway.
I'm usually a 2D fan but these videos are a compelling reason to like 3D.
Now if someone did this with Mina Tepes from "Dance in the Vampire Bund" well, I don't know if I would be able to hold myself in check...
I think this is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen done with a computer. I had never even heard of AR untill now.
Nice hat on Chibimari. Wonder if she's overcompensating for something..
The first one looked great. I thought the second looked strange, like she was on fast forward, and weird when her hands would half-touch her clothes as they cut through them... also, the whole video was just Marisa dancing. I'll stick to 2D for now since it is more flexible...

Though this technology has existed for a while, lack of adoption for wide-range application leaves me perplexed. If an "amateur" is able to perform interesting and quite useful tasks using augmented reality (AR), it leaves me wondering why hasn't this become common today.
For now, AR is displayed on monitors via visual feedback from an external sensor (camera). With today's mobile technology and as exemplified by this vid demonstration [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XZC76lQ2hc], I could see this being available in mobile devices with built-in camera and screen such as mobile phones, for endless hours of gaming fun, location-based GPS information databank, etc.
Sumomo [http://chan.sankakustatic.com/data/8a/80/8a808cd301a0eaf0f3bb175a5abb5d68.jpg] in your hands, anyone?
Anyway, NICE FIND, but Touhou's Reimu X iM@S' "Go My Way"? o_0

I knew I should have downloaded this one from Youtube before they removed it.
i think chibimari dance originaly by her :

One of these days, I'm going to study on how to use those programs. ^^
Want
FREAKING AWESOME!!!
i love that chibimari dance
what dance is that?
Just so people don't keep asking:
First video is Reimu dancing "GO MY WAY!!" from The Idolmaster while Miku sings it.
Second video is an original routine of Chibi Marisa dancing "Renai Circulation" by Kana Hanazawa.
That said, the fluidity of the dancing in both videos is shocking. Extremely life-like.
That song is stuck in my head now, but seriously anyone else want to see that dance on your table?
I can't tell weather the hat's semi-nonexistence is purposely being highlighted or not, but it's very hypnotizing.
im in for a lick
When I first saw that Chibimari video I was so amazed by the fluid animation I doubted the fact that it was made on MMD. I've seen quite a few dance vids, but this one stands out the most. It feels so natural...until she has a complete motionless stop at the end...
What's the second video's soundtrack's artist/title??
- Anon
You signed your own message with "-Anon"? Are you trying to make a name for yourself?
Renai Circulation from Nadeko Snake Arc (OP#4) by Hanazawa Kana
omg! HOW DID I MISS THAT!?
yay for Renai Circulation. it's a sweet, simple, and extremely addicting song :)
Is there a way for mo-capped choreography to be imported to MMD...?
I'm sure there is, it's just too expensive for most "productive otaku" that do these videos.
As someone who has to clean mocap data, it's also no fucking fun at all.
Anyway, I haven't looked at the MMD program but if there's a way to import fbx or ma or 3ds or whatnot then there shouldn't be any problems. But if you can't import or if animation has to be done in MMD (plus rigging and whatnot; I'm going to assume that the models were done in metasequoia from their look) then it'll be an issue.
Yes, it's importable.
Mmmm Reimu....
Mmmmm DFC.... You call me?
HELLO...hello....ECHO...echo.....MY NAME IS ED
What's the platform thing that Reimu's dancing on called? That black-white card thing?
Yup, the target is reminiscent of the PsP game "invizimals" which uses the same sort of thing, you can see the animals on the target with the PsP camera, a sort of high tech Pokemon game.
AR - Augmented Reality.
That's the tracking target the program uses to keep the model in the right place throughout the matchmove.
The first time I saw AR glyphs like that was a demo for software called "Black Magic" close to a decade ago. They seem to have become pretty much the standard though since they're so easy to see on a camera.
It's like your own fairy dancing in front of you...
More like your personal idol.
Same system used in PS3 "eye toys?" and "Cyber Figure Alice"

I'm totally gonna learn that dance for the next time I hit the dance floor in the disco.
Read to much berserk.
Hehe I am sorry but there really isn't such a thing as reading to much Berserk.
Actually, there might be something like writing too much Berserk. Look what happened to Kentaro Miura.
that's pretty cool.
This Technology
plus
OLED Transparent Screen Technology
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Olv9SiKbF5M
plus Visors/Shades
equals
Omg wtf.
They're already working on it:
http://fleshbot.com/5443038/is-augmented-reality-the-future-of-porn
You almost forgot one of the best parts: shades with OLED screens would be able to display a different image for each eye, which is the basis for stereoscopic 3D technology.
So AR + OLED glasses + Stereoscopy = Absolutely perfect virtual 3D
And to think, this could easily be done with today's technology if you had enough money and developed some simple software for it.
Imagine a star trek like Holodeck. That would be awesome.
I was asking sarcastically... LOL
Don't worry Anon, I always fail to spot sarcasm, too. XD
WTF is this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XZC76lQ2hc
It's basically a rangefinder that also works with a program to display graphically the results of the range.
"AR" stands for "augmented reality" if you were wondering.
I was imagining wearing gloves with markers too so that you can interact.
Imagine something like a 3d map on a table just like in the movies.
if holodeck's really existed, you would never see me IRL anymore XD
