NSG Group Press Release: October 6, 2025 [First among vocational schools] International Video Media College introduces the latest motion capture equipment, “MOVIN”
–Significantly strengthening the training environment for VTubers, video, and CG with easy-to-use, cutting-edge technology– The International Visual Media College (Chuo-ku, Niigata City), a vocational school for voice actors, VTubers, actors, stage actors, and filmmakers, a member of the NSG Group’s Niigata branch, has introduced “MOVIN,” the latest motion capture equipment provided by Spice Co., Ltd. (https://mocap.jp/

). This is the first time a vocational school in Japan has introduced this equipment (according to Spice Co., Ltd. as of October 3, 2025). The decision to introduce this system was prompted by a demonstration at the industry exhibition “Content Tokyo.” Its ease of setup and high-precision full-body capture were major attractions. This has created an educational environment that will enhance the expressiveness of VTubers and other digital entertainment artists.

Conventional motion capture systems struggle with complex or agile movements, and full-body capture in particular can be difficult to stabilize, resulting in jerky or unexpected movements. However, MOVIN can capture natural, full-body movements. It’s also affordable, making it suitable for educational environments.”

Furthermore, in the VTuber department, it is expected that students will be able to use it not only for front-line activities, but also for acquiring behind-the-scenes skills such as CG production and software operation. Furthermore, it is expected that this will lead to cross-departmental collaborative classes, such as CG production and music video production using motion data in the Video and Visual Creator department, and real-life live performance production using a see-through screen in the Sound, Lighting, and Stage Staff department. “Some of our group schools have introduced other types of motion capture equipment, but due to the complex equipment required, it takes time to prepare for use in class, and it can be difficult for students to use alone. In that respect, MOVIN can be used immediately in class and easily incorporated into after-school individual activities and streaming. I hope students will make full use of this equipment and use it to make their debut or create their own work. ” (VTuber Department Instructor, Miu Tanaka)

Going forward, we will utilize MOVIN through individual activities outside of class, student production, and inter-departmental collaborations to further promote the development of talent who can immediately contribute to the
