In a move that is sure to shake up the virtual world, Mark Zuckerberg has announced that Metaverse's avatars will soon be sporting a more realistic look. And if rumors are to be believed, they may also be sporting some seriously impressive assets.
This announcement comes on the heels of Apple's revelation of their new Vision Pro AR system, complete with hyper-realistic avatars. Zuckerberg, never one to back down from a challenge, seems determined to one-up the tech giant in the virtual world.
But while Apple's avatars may be lifelike, Metaverse's are about to enter the realm of the uncanny valley. With facial features so realistic they're almost unsettling, it's bound to be a strange experience for users to interact with avatars that could pass for real people.
Of course, if the rumors are true, users may be too distracted by their avatars' ample assets to pay much attention to their faces. While Zuckerberg hasn't confirmed anything, anonymous sources have hinted that Metaverse's new avatars will feature larger-than-life physical attributes, making even the most well-endowed of users green with envy.
But let's not get too ahead of ourselves. As of yet, there's been no official confirmation of Zuckerberg's plans for Metaverse's avatars. For all we know, they could end up looking like something out of a nightmare.
Either way, it's clear that the virtual world is about to get a whole lot more interesting...or uncomfortable, depending on your perspective.
In the meantime, users are left to wonder what these new avatars will look like. Will they be so realistic that they're almost creepy? Will they really have bigger assets than their real-life counterparts? Only time will tell.
One thing is for sure, though: if Zuckerberg delivers on his promises, it's bound to be a sight to behold. And maybe, just maybe, it'll make spending time in the virtual world a little less lonely.
