Meta's VR avatars are receiving a fresh design, reminiscent of popular styles familiar to gamers.

Revealed during the announcements at its Connect conference, Meta showcased a new format for its in-platform avatars, which it ultimately sees as the way we will connect and interact within the metaverse.

The new avatars feature enhanced customization elements, allowing users to create more accurate representations of themselves.

The updated avatar creation process will provide a wider range of personalization options, including AI-generated clothing and additional customization features.

The expanded features will promote greater inclusivity while offering users more opportunities to create characters that genuinely reflect their digital selves.

As reported by UploadVR, Meta initially unveiled these updated avatars at its Connect conference in 2022, but a renewed focus on AI and other developmental priorities appear to have postponed the rollout.

However, soon you’ll have additional options to customize and personalize your VR representation, including the chance to explore new types of avatar choices, allowing you to dress your character as a monster, an animal, or even equip them with futuristic armor.

The enhanced features will foster greater inclusivity while providing users with more ways to create characters that truly represent their digital identities.
