Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

CTOnews.com, August 30 (Xinhua)-- the Meta Quest avatar has always had an upper body and no legs, which makes some users feel unnatural and incomplete. Meta (formerly Facebook) announced last year that it would add legs to the avatar, but it never happened. Now, Quest v57, the latest beta version of Meta Quest, finally lets users see their legs, but it only works in Quest Home, not in Meta Horizon Worlds, which is Meta's main social platform.

The official update to the beta version of Quest v57 is not released, but will be discovered and shared by users. Some users found that they saw their legs in Quest Home, but only in front of the mirror, and the legs did not squat as the user squatted down.

In addition, users also found some other new features, such as improvements to gesture tracking, menu adjustments and battery mode settings.

CTOnews.com noted that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, said at the Meta Connect conference last year that legs were one of the most wanted features for users. He also said that it is very difficult to achieve leg movement because it is difficult for the camera of the headset to capture the leg movement of the user. Therefore, Meta needs to use artificial intelligence models to simulate the motion of the legs. However, it is reported that the legs shown at last year's conference may have been pre-recorded motion capture.

Meta is expected to announce more details at the Meta Connect conference on September 27 this year, when Meta is likely to introduce more information about the new Quest 3 headset, which has already been unpacked in advance.
