One of the things you’ll hear people talking about with the Apple Vision Pro is “personas”. You make one by scanning your face with the device, and it creates a digital floating head that mimics my real face… People have been making some fun of these because they don’t look real by any means. But to be fair, both Apple and Meta’s avatars now are much better than few years ago. If any of these companies can make full body digital avatars that feel real, it could be HUGE. If they could, then this kind of tech is the most direct path to a totally sci-fi ability I never thought I’d see in real life: Being able to jump to another place instantly… or bring people to me… which is also called… TELEPORTATION. That’s the sci-fi future I want to see. We made a whole episode featuring @mkbhd and @ryan all about what this tech can do right now - and what it might be able to do in the future.

Please don't call it teleportation. Call it telepresence
I personally think that Zuckerberg looks like an avatar himself.
She actually looks like her avatar
Thats not teleportation... Thats a fancy google street view lmao.
The word for that in SF is telepresence.
This is closer to holograms then teleportation.
I still don't understand how they can call it "teleportation". You are not teleporting anywhere and it's no different than playing a video game with other people in the same virtual space. Is anyone talking about the data collection of these devices?
But it DOES look like her! It just doesnt look like the mirror image of herself she's used to looking at
Not teleportation, but I'm cool with that. Never going to kill myself to have a clone created where I want to go.
I wouldn't call it teleportation, it is more like some sort of hologram
And in Sci fi it almost always ends in corporations or nations or criminals abusing this leading to a dystopia future 80 percent of the time.
No, it's television, that's literally exactly what it is. Seriously, quit it with the sensationalist bullshit, everyone hates it. Just tell it how it is.
That avatar looks exactly like you but I get why you wouldn’t think so. You see yourself in the mirror everyday so the differences are much more obvious for you.
It does exactly look like you 😂
Pretty sure teleportation means you are physically there...
After seeing the Lex Fridman podcast with those realistic avatars, my standards are now through the roof, and nothing will impress me until we see THAT level of realism in these personas
Yeah, I am out before Terminator registers my face as Target.
Dont call it teleportation, call it astral projection🤣
3DS miitopia avatars where you put your face to the camera ✨ DEEEEEVIIIIIIIINEEEEE ✨
Teleportation seems like you are physically going somewhere. This seems more closer to holograms.
