AltspaceVR, the social VR platform, has always had a unique visual approach to presenting your digital self in a virtual space, but it may not have been to everyone’s tastes. Now, the company has introduced for familiar looking avatars to express yourself with.
AltspaceVR, who recently celebrated raising a total of over $15M to develop and grow their virtual reality social platform, has introduced humanoid avatars, in stark contrast to the robot-style models the system has used since the beginning.
You can now apparently not only choose something which looks a little more like you, you can (should such things float your boat) also choose your digital mini-me in outfits from over 90 clothing combinations.
The new avatars blink, but more importantly include corresponding animations locked to your speech within AltspaceVR. Additionally you may find a couple of other non-human options that the developers had some fun implementing.
So what are you waiting for, head over to AltspaceVR and start expressing your sense of virtual style. The platform is currently free to access and recently introduced cross platform support in the form of a Gear VR version of the application. HTC Vive support is also due to be implemented.
