Mark Zuckerberg was interviewed by Lex Fridman using Meta's prototype photorealistic Codec Avatars. Codec Avatars is a research project by Meta that aims to revolutionize remote communication with realistic avatars. The avatars are generated using a capture rig with over 100 cameras, but Meta researchers are working on a smartphone scan method. Both Zuckerberg and Fridman wore Quest Pro headsets with face tracking and eye tracking features. Fridman was amazed by the realism of the avatars, stating that it felt like he was sitting across from Zuckerberg. While Meta still has a long way to go, leaked information suggests that Codec Avatars could be integrated into the next version of Quest Pro in 2025. For more details, visit the source at UploadVR.
