HoloYiff

HoloYiff enables you watch furries get it on, in real life! Place them anywhere you want in your environment and enjoy the show.

  

Before Trying

HoloYiff requires at least a fairly modern device with decent specs.

  

Android:

Minimum: Samsung Galaxy A52, which is a mid-range device released in 2020.

It also supports Depth API for ARCore, which is required for any Android phone.

Please check if your device supports Depth API: https://developers.google.com/ar/devices#google_play_devices

Google Chrome is recommended; other browsers may not work.

iOS:

Minimum: iPhone XR, released in 2018.

OS: iOS 17 is supported; lower versions may not work.

Safari is required.

Quest VR Headset:

Minimum: Meta Quest 2, released in 2020.

  

Features

Placing the hologram

The hologram can be placed where you point the camera, by simply tapping on the screen.

Tapping again will remove the hologram.

Switching the hologram

You can quickly switch between different holograms in the menu.

Adjusting the position

The position can be adjusted by pressing and holding on top of the spawn pad, placed at the base of the hologram. 

To highlight all interactive elements, simply press and hold anywhere on the screen (except on the UI and any interactive element)

Adjusting the lighting

The lighting can be adjusted to fit your environment. The light indicator controls both the direction and ambience lighting applied to the hologram.

Revealing the expanded menu

The menu can be expanded by swiping upwards on the menu handle. 

The expanded menu is very much work in progress, but currently it includes the credits for the current hologram.

The plan is to allow you to filter between holograms, creators and specific characters through this menu. It will also include a details page for individual creators and characters. This page will include social links as well as links to platforms such as Patreon, in case you want to support the original animator.

 Hiding the UI

You can hide the UI by swiping downwards on the menu handle. This gives you a more immersive view of the hologram, which is especially useful for recording your own videos.

Currently the light indicator stays visible, even while the UI is hidden, but this will most likely be changed.

Place behind walls in VR

Specific to the VR version, you can place holograms behind walls. 

I also implemented my own spatial audio solution, adjusting the sound direction and volume to account for the walls in your environment.

To take advantage of this feature, you will need to do a space setup in the Quest OS, including manually adjusting the walls for the most accurate results.

The Future of HoloYiff

Personally, I believe in the saying: "show, don't tell", so I will try to avoid making lofty promises. However, I do have strong core vision for the future of the project, something that is unlikely to change as this project develops. At the same time, I am creating HoloYiff for the community, so I want to leave room for everyone to help shape where HoloYiff is heading.

The core vision for the project is to become a hub for a vast amount of holographic content. Where animators can feature their work and give you the chance to experience them in new and unique ways. Not only that, but it also gives you the opportunity to get creative. All you have to do is simply record your screen, and you can essentially create your own furry porn. When shared online, it actively helps promote your favorite animators.

Also, I know that a common problem for upcoming animators is that their work gets buried by the countless number of posts on the platforms that they post on. Often requiring a substantial following before their work is properly seen by others. This can greatly discourage upcoming animators from continuing sharing their work. With HoloYiff's sole focus on animations, animators will no longer have to compete with countless number of posts. Their work will instead get exposed to a user base that loves animations, which can greatly motivate them to continue, which ultimately leads to more animations for everyone to enjoy.

Supporting the Project

Thank you for reading this!

This project is a labor of love, something I have poured a lot of time into. For the past 3 months alone, I have worked every single day, even up to 14 hours a day, just because I truly believe in this vision.

It has involved everything from the development of VolXSpace, the cross platform augmented reality platform which powers HoloYiff. Custom built tools that enable conversion from 2D to 3D. A completely custom compression method which enables high resolution content to be displayed on lower end devices, such as smartphones. The 2D to 3D conversions themselves. As well as all the videos and gifs I have been sharing, including recording and editing. 

With that said, it would truly mean a lot if you're interested in supporting the project.

Even if you can't support the project monetarily, leaving a rating or a comment helps immensely.

Any Monitory support would go towards the following:

Reducing hosting fees

HoloYiff is free and will remain free, as long as it's feasible.

In order for this project to be able to support a growing library of content, the animations are hosted separately from the application itself. This results in additional hosting fees. The fees are based on the total size of the animations and the amount of traffic.

So, any support this project get would mean a lot, as it would reduce or even negate the impact of the hosting fees. This would make it possible to keep it free for everyone to enjoy. 

Continued full time development

I want to keep being able to work on this full time. Continuing to pour in as much time as I can into the project. 

This way I can bring you something truly unique faster.

Animations featuring your OCs, designed to take advantage of HoloYiff

I have many ideas for fun and unique ways to interact with the Holograms, and I bet you do too! However, some of these concepts will require custom made animations to be able to fully realize those ideas.

So additional support would make it possible to commission animations specifically designed around upcoming HoloYiff features.

If you have your own personal character, I want to give you the opportunity to have them be part of these commissions.

Sound and voice work for existing animations

I think we can all agree that great sound effects and well performed voice work makes a big difference for an animation.

With enough support, it would enable us to fund the work required to add sound and voice performance to many of the amazing animations that are currently missing sound. 

Any sound edits would not just be available in the HoloYiff project, they would also be released as standalone animations for everyone to enjoy.

Supported Platforms

iPhone (iOS)

Due to WebXR not being supported on iOS, a 3rd party app, called Variant Launch AR, is needed. The app acts as a simple web browser with WebXR support built into it.

You can read more about Launch AR here: launch.variant3d.com

However, there is no need to install the Launch AR app from the appstore, you just need to open Safari and visit: volxspace.com/holoyiff. You will get the option to install it through the browser.

Also, don't use the QR code reader in the Launch AR app when attempting to scan the QR code on this page. You should use your regular phone camera instead.

Android

Android compatibility depend on if the device supports Depth API for ARCore.

See device list here: developers.google.om/ar/devices#google_play_devices

Meta Quest

Meta Quest 3 is officially supported. Additional standalone VR headsets that support augmented reality should also be supported but has not yet been tested.

Huge Thanks To the Animators

Finally, I want to take a moment thank the animators who have chosen to have their work featured in the app. 

This project would simply not be possible without their amazing work.

You can check them all out in the app. If you like their work, I highly encourage you to give them a follow.
