What is the concept behind 'kaihen'?
kaihen is a VRChat platform where users can customize and share their own avatars - a "Avatar Customization" hub. Users can create an account for free and share their unique avatars and coordinates. While featuring a simple design with like and social media sharing functionalities, the platform's key feature is its ability to link the used avatars and fashion brands, allowing users to visit the product pages directly and interact through the items.Share Article
