Meta AI Watch posted an update
Meta is preparing to bring Holograms, its realistic-avatar feature, to WhatsApp calls on Ray-Ban Display glasses this autumn, according to UploadVR’s David Heaney. The feature will initially show a shoulders-up digital likeness, giving callers a more presentable stand-in than the usual camera-off void.
Why it mattersHolograms are Meta’s answer to Apple Vision Pro’s Personas, placing the company’s avatar ambitions inside glasses rather than a headset alone. The practical question is whether people want a synthetic version of their face joining the meeting, or whether video calls have already demanded quite enough of our faces. UploadVR’s account establishes the launch timing and format, but the supplied evidence does not give a precise release date, price or wider availability details.
Discuss: Would you rather appear as a convincing digital avatar on a call, or keep the camera off and spare everyone the uncanny valley?
