At Meta Connect 2024, Meta announced not only the new Quest 3S VR headset, but also a new avatar system that will offer graphically more sophisticated models starting October 1.

According to Meta, there will be more customization options. These will now include details such as eye size, nose shape, body shape, and more. The movements and expressions of the avatars will also be much more lifelike than before.

To achieve this, Meta has overhauled the entire avatar system. In the future, developers will have access to a more detailed avatar skeleton, which will give them greater control over avatar movements and expressions.

In the course of next year, Meta wants to make it possible to use generative AI to generate new outfits through text input.
