Why My Persona Looks So Weird in the Apple Vision Pro

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. You can watch it on our channel now, or just subscribe to see more optimistic tech stories from Huge If True. #shorts #science #animation #applevisionpro #visionpro #tech #stem #personas #scifi #sciencefiction

one of the things that you'll hear a lot of  people talking about with a Vision Pro is "personas" which are basically digital avatars.  you create one by holding it up to your face like this and then it scans your face and creates  this. I don't really think that looks like me but it definitely looks like... a person.  people keep making fun of these because they don't really look like you but to be fair both  apple and meta's avatars are so much better than the avatars that we had like a couple
years ago.  this is actually one of the things I most excited about! if any company can get that right then  that means that this kind of technology is the most direct path to a totally sci-fi ability I  never thought we'd be talking about in real life: you could jump to anywhere and see anyone  or bring them to you and it all feels real and in sci-fi there's a word for that...  teleportation. we made a whole longer video about what this tech can really do right now  and the totally sci-fi futu
re that I genuinely think we're headed toward if you want to  check it out you can watch right here...

Please don't call it teleportation. Call it telepresence

@justanotherchristine

I personally think that Zuckerberg looks like an avatar himself.

@calebjuanta6029

She actually looks like her avatar

@MrMonoposon

Thats not teleportation... Thats a fancy google street view lmao.

@brianhawthorne7603

The word for that in SF is telepresence.

@ISO_ROBOT

This is closer to holograms then teleportation.

@xXBleachXx

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?

@TheDramacist

But it DOES look like her! It just doesnt look like the mirror image of herself she's used to looking at

@BlazzaBlu

Not teleportation, but I'm cool with that. Never going to kill myself to have a clone created where I want to go.

@infinitinfinitinfinit9820

I wouldn't call it teleportation, it is more like some sort of hologram

@alanarunmavath6005

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.

@No0ne._.

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.

@andrewcatlin3590

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.

@ashercarson2192

It does exactly look like you 😂

@bigdeal5394

Pretty sure teleportation means you are physically there...

@dannymartial7997

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

@river.

Yeah, I am out before Terminator registers my face as Target.

@paultheko4583

Dont call it teleportation, call it astral projection🤣

@asmamazen8673

3DS miitopia avatars where you put your face to the camera ✨ DEEEEEVIIIIIIIINEEEEE ✨

@senalweerasekara

Teleportation seems like you are physically going somewhere. This seems more closer to holograms.
