Industry Overview:
Avatar is nothing new in the social media world, but Facebook's Metaverse adds a whole different dimension to it. In addition to the name change to Meta in Connect 2021, Facebook has made numerous announcements centered on VR technology, future directions, and research in this area. Facebook's Metaverse may feature surrealistic 3D avatars that use artificial intelligence, advanced modeling techniques, and electromyograms to accurately represent human features and movements in virtual space.
Meanwhile, other companies like Microsoft have announced their views on Metaverse user avatars, and the future looks bright. Etymologically, the word avatar comes from the Sanskrit word "descent," especially referring to gods who descend to Earth and take the form of humans. In computer technology, avatars became popular in the 1980s as a representation of Internet users, especially gamers on the screen. The 1985 game Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar established the need for a user's on-screen representation with some credibility.
The idea was that seeing yourself accurately projected on the screen from a first-person perspective would allow users to become more aware of the ethical issues of the game and experience the content in an immersive way. The same principles apply to social media, as our avatars are literally in virtual space or the world of games, and their actions/decisions are the same as ours. This approach was first presented in the 1992 science fiction novel, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson – which, incidentally, was also the first debut of the metaverse concept.
Fast forward three decades and tech companies like Facebook (now Meta) and Microsoft are looking to realize the vision of a rich metaverse, populated by lifelike avatars.
