Meta's upgraded 3D avatars work across Facebook, Instagram and VR
The avatars themselves promise to be truer to your style with more faces, skin tones and expressions. You can also add Cochlear implants, over-the-air hearing aids and wheelchairs. Meta is also being more adventurous with clothing. You can now pick up official NFL apparel to flaunt your love of football ahead of the Super Bowl.
You can still create different avatars for Facebook, Instagram and VR, so you can have a more realistic persona for and a more fantastical one for your social media profiles. Meta has also promised to"eventually" simplify moving avatars across places, and already lets you sync avatar changes between Facebook and Instagram.. This doesn't suddenly create a truly cohesive and immersive digital space. It's a start, though. If nothing else, it provides consistency that might encourage you to try an avatar instead of sticking to a favorite photo.
