Meta Avatars Revamped with New Body Types, Poses, and AI-Enhanced Clothing Styles

Umm, so, Meta’s doing this thing again… Avatars are getting a glow-up, I guess? Like, facial tweaks, body sizes, and all that jazz. Sorta like playing dress-up but for your digital self. Anyway, these avatars are all over Meta’s stuff – Horizon Worlds, that workroom vibe on Quest, and even Facebook and Instagram. You name it.

And get this, folks in the US and Canada now have a buffet of body shapes to pick from. Shoulders, hips, biceps — they all get their moment. Plus, there’s this “body preview mode,” whatever that means. It’s like trying on clothes but for your digital you.

Oh! The face thingy is getting fancy, too. More knobs and sliders for jawlines and cheeks. Kinda like sculpting, maybe. And Meta’s saying they’ve got over 50 new emotes and a bunch of clothing options now. Cool, right? Depends on who you ask.

Here’s a kicker — they’ve tinkered with some AI tool, too. Apparently, you can whip up new outfits by just typing what you’re dreaming about or spinning a digital wheel of randomness. Like a wardrobe roulette. Fun? Confusing? Both?

They’re slowly rolling this out to people over 13 in the US and Canada. So, don’t worry if you don’t see these options right away. They’re probably still coming up with more stuff as we speak. So, stay tuned, if that’s your thing. Or don’t. I mean, who am I to tell you what to do?
