Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg demoed the company's new 'photorealistic avatars' from the metaverse on the Lex Fridman Podcast.

Ahead of the conversation, both Fridman and Zuckerberg were scanned and entered the metaverse using advanced “codec avatars” with the Meta Quest Pro headset. While Zuckerberg acknowledged that the technology requires a lot of work, he also stated his belief that the scanning process needs to be much more accessible to the average wearer.

Zuckerberg clarified that the avatars’ creation involved scanning their faces, which naturally added to the super realistic appearances the avatars had of the two.

I upscaled the footage to 8K and interpolated from 30fps to 60fps with Topaz Video AI. I converted the 2D footage to stereo-3D using Owl3D. Hopefully, this video (when viewed in a 3D headset) will help simulate what it might look like to talk to someone’s avatar in the future.
