Is Meta Getting Close To Bringing Its Photorealistic 'Codec Avatars' To Quest?
Meta's research and development project, Codec Avatars, aims to revolutionize remote communication with photorealistic avatars. Recent findings suggest that the project may soon be integrated into Meta's Quest headsets. The discovery was made by VR enthusiast Luna, who found references to Codec Avatars in the Meta Quest firmware. However, it is unclear when this feature will be released or if it will be available for existing Quest headsets or a future model. Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth mentioned last year that they are still years away from shipping Codec Avatars. Meta's researchers have also demonstrated efficient methods to decode and render Codec Avatars on Quest 2 without requiring face or eye tracking. It remains to be seen when this highly anticipated feature will become available. For more details, please visit the source UploadVR.
