Your spatial computing dreams -- or perhaps, nightmares -- are coming true with Spatial Personas.

The Apple Vision Pro’s Spatial Personas, avatars designed to replicate a user’s facial expressions and hand gestures, have been set loose. The avatars can now roam freely in your virtual space, allowing them to look at, point to, and interact with, various apps over SharePlay. It’s part of Apple’s effort to make hanging out in spatial computing feel more natural, first reported by Engadget Tuesday.

While Meta’s avatars look purposefully cartoonish, Apple has decided to place avatars somewhere in the uncanny valley: closely resembling humans but not quite convincing enough. Spatial Personas are just realistic enough to haunt your dreams. This is an ongoing challenge for virtual and mixed reality headsets. There needs to be a way to incorporate others into your virtual space, but recreating humans in real-time while they’re wearing a headset is difficult.
