Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently unveiled the company's new photo-realistic VR avatars in an interview with podcaster Lex Fridman. These avatars, part of a research program, required hours of facial scanning and motion capture to create motion-controllable avatar heads. According to Zuckerberg, this method is more efficient from a computational perspective and offers a more realistic experience. The compact data stream, combined with audio from the headset's microphones, allows for near-zero latency communication. The technology has potential applications in facilitating virtual meetings for multinational corporations in the metaverse.
