Did Zuckerberg’s dance show us real metaverse legs?
- metadat 4y agotl;dr: > Mark Zuckerberg made a huge announcement: the avatars in the company’s Horizon VR app will be getting legs soon. To demonstrate this groundbreaking technical achievement, Zuckerberg’s digital avatar lifted each leg in the air, then did a jump, while Aigerim Shorman’s avatar kicked into the air.
- jay_kyburz 4y agoI think I realize what is what the real problem here is. Meta is hellbent on recreating the real world in the Metaverse, when really it can be so much more. Yes the characters look weird without legs, but they didn't need to be real legs that can dance around and kick. Who cares about legs. Who cares about walking when you can point where you want to go and teleport there with a click of a button. The avatars don't need to look like real people, they don't need to walk around boring office spaces and do things we do in the real world. They could be so much more.
- metadat 4y agoIf legs are tricky, how does WOW and second-life have them, though?
