New Delhi: Meta has launched updated 3D Avatars to Facebook and Messenger in India. The company also adds new facial shapes and assistive devices for people with disabilities.
Meta is rolling out updated 3D Avatars to Facebook and Messenger, and for the first time Instagram Stories and DMs. Starting today people in India can show up as their virtual self across apps via stickers, feed posts, Facebook profile pictures, and more. This also marks the first time Avatars will be available on Instagram.
Manish Chopra, Director and Head Partnerships, India at Meta said, “Representations in the metaverse should reflect the diversity of the real world. Avatars are just the first step toward enabling everyone to express themselves in their unique ways. When you create your avatar you can choose the right facial features, body types, clothing styles, and more to create your virtual self. We offered more than one quintillion different combinations when we launched our updated avatars last year, and we’re continuing to add more options to give people even more ways to express themselves.”
