I’m supposed to talk about Meta’s Avatars—those digital people things—and how they’re getting all sorts of upgrades. Why? I dunno, maybe so we can make pretend versions of ourselves that are even more us. Anyway, there’s this upgrade, right? Now you can mess with face shapes, tweak body parts, play around with hair and makeup. All on Meta. Like they’ve woven these avatars through everything: Horizon Worlds, Quest, Facebook. It’s like they want them everywhere.
So, what’s new? If you live in the US or Canada, you’ve hit the jackpot. You’ve got dozens of fresh body types and these neat ways to customize everything—shoulders, hips, biceps (feel like a digital bodybuilder yet?). There’s even this preview thing where you can see your avatar in its digital birthday suit before dressing it. Sounds handy? Or just odd?
Oh, and faces. The editor got a facelift—you see what I did there? Now you can play with jawlines, cheek fullness, and facial depth. It’s like virtual plastic surgery but without the needle drama. Also, they tossed in 18 new standing poses, more than 50 new emotes—it’s like emoji heaven. Dozens of clothes too, because, why not? Everyone needs a new outfit…on their avatar.
And about styling. Meta’s rolling out this snazzy AI tool in the Horizon mobile app. Type in a style idea and poof! New outfit. Or let it surprise you—risky, but could be fun. Then you get to polish it up. That’s style magic, plain and simple.
But here’s the kicker: this whole shebang is rolling out slowly. You know, gradually—so don’t sit by your phone waiting. More cool stuff is coming, eventually, but who knows when? Well, there it is, Meta’s avatar upheaval. Love it or leave it, but at least it’s something to fiddle with.
