They just showed that people wearing a Vision Pro get a digitally mocked up version of themselves shown to others.

That explains why every other user was a floating head; that would let them generate the same.

The demo for that looked pretty rough. The user's facial expressions looked unnatural, and the lip movements were poorly synced to the audio. I guess there's only so much an "encoder/decoder" model can make up with limited input data.

wondering how they deal with the issue that the face starts moving before we start making sound. I guess the network latency will help.

This seems like a step backwards from just seeing a real persons face on a regular screen :(

They just went over it, looks like they're relying on a motion-tracked digital persona (probably using some sort of NeRF approach)

I guess a Metaverse nightmare cartoon avatar?
