I completely agree, this absolutely horrendous for a visual presentation. A wii like character, no proper lighting, floating with no legs and the subtle fidget moving of the limbs, lack of facial expression and flapping mouth that hardly mimics the sound. What did facebook spend all their money on?
I'd rather see video or even a still picture of Carmack than this monstrosity.

- crooked-v 4y agoVRChat has had a Quest app for a while. It has limits on avatar/world complexity because of the limited processing power, but is otherwise an identical experience, including plenty of cross-platform avatars and worlds.

- sockaddr 4y agoI’d be asking for more meetings at work if this is what I could look forward to.

- cma 4y agoHe says he didn't use the new face tracking because it glitches out too much, so it was using the old auto generated face expressions. Big WTF.
