    There’s a dude at work who has one and uses it for calls. He says it’s for travel, so he can have “bigger” monitors wherever he goes.

    But he always has his camera on, and some AI filter that replaces his face so the headset doesn’t appear.

    And it looks fucking awful. It’s at the lowest depths of the uncanny valley. It’s a facade that doesn’t blink right, that floats around, with a mouth that doesn’t match his speech. Its like it was designed to be off-putting.

      Wait, so you’re saying he uses traditional Zoom or whatever on this computer with a camera? And then he uses some sort of software to hide the Vision Pro?

      And he doesn’t use the built in Persona and the meeting apps native on the Vision Pro? Strange.

      But you might also be confused and not realize it’s not using a camera and AI to filter out the headset.

          You should ask him to try a new capture.

          You also sound like you’re on the sensitive end of the spectrum with these avatars. I personally get use to them super fast. Especially when in VR with them. But yeah, they are approximations.
