The company's partnership with Microsoft to bring productivity tools to virtual reality was one of the announcements made at the conference. One of the most talked about updates was that Meta is finally coming to life.
Users of Meta's virtual world experience had legless torsos in the name of their "avatars" Their bodies are floating in the digital space without any legs. Check out the video below to see what these are.
The Connect conference demo had two people in it, one of which was Aigerim Shorman. Meta used motion capture technology instead of virtual reality-based tracking to make its legs work.
Ian Hamilton was told by Meta that it had used animation. The segment featured animations created from motion capture.
It's difficult to capture leg movements from a virtual reality device. The early version of Microsoft's virtual world experiences was difficult to incorporate. Users have a mixed reaction to the fact that virtual legs can't track real-time movements of your own legs
We might have to wait another year for Meta to have her leg-equipped avatars in the world. The company is showing inferred positions of other people's legs, but you may not be able to see your own.
Virtual-world legs may not be as good as real-life ones for a while. Mark said that legs are hard.
