Looking to put your best face forward in online meetings with the Apple Vision Pro VR headset? Great news! The “Persona” feature, which displays a digital avatar of yourself, has been significantly improved!
Previously, Persona received some criticism for its lack of realism. However, in the latest VisionOS 1.1 update, Apple has made major improvements.
According to XDA users, as reported by MacRumors, Persona is now much more realistic and human-like, compared to its previous “impressionist painting” look.
What is Persona?
Persona is a digital representation created from headset sensor data and the latest machine learning algorithms.
What does it do? It displays your facial expressions and hand movements naturally during video calls, meetings, and other virtual activities.
In short, Persona ensures that you don’t look like you’re wearing a “mask” when interacting online.
Persona’s Transformation: Sharper, More Proportional, and More Human-like!
After updating to visionOS 1.1, you will be prompted to “recapture” your Persona to get the “latest look”. This process is mostly done by removing the headset and pointing it at your face.
The good news is that most users have experienced a significant improvement in the visual quality of their Persona.
Their faces appear sharper, more proportional, no longer blurry, more realistic, and have a more natural touch with more accurate facial proportions.
Alternative: Eye Expressions with EyeSight
If you still want to hide part of your face, the EyeSight feature can be an option. EyeSight displays a digital version of your eyes to others, even when you are using the Apple Vision Pro.
Persona is Still in Beta, but Full of Improvements
To date, Apple itself still considers Persona to be an Apple Beta feature and provides detailed instructions to get the best results.
However, this latest update shows Apple’s commitment to delivering an immersive and enjoyable Virtual Reality (VR) experience.
With this step, Apple is getting closer to its vision of eliminating the barriers of the physical world in virtual interaction.
This is certainly welcomed by users who want a more accurate and realistic digital representation in the virtual world. So, are you interested in trying out the more realistic Persona?
