40Acres Mikufest! 2025 – Full Vocaloid Concert at Komoricon (ft. Hatsune Miku, Cryptonloids & More!)

🎤 40 Acres Mikufest – Official Concert Video (UT Austin x Komoricon 2025)
Welcome to the official concert video for 40 Acres Mikufest, a student-led Vocaloid performance hosted at the University of Texas at Austin during Komoricon 2025.

This project, under Komoricon, brought together UT students across disciplines in collaboration with the Arts and Entertainment Technologies (AET) program to create a one-of-a-kind digital concert. The show featured motion capture, 3D animation, projection, real-time VFX, and sound design, bringing digital idols like Hatsune Miku and Kagamine Len to life on stage. With the support of AET faculty and access to the LIM and PLAI Labs, Mikufest grew from a small passion project into a full-scale production.
