expressive avatar system that we have.
That's the kind of more cartoon designed one.
You can, you can kind of put those kinds of expressions on those faces as well, but there's obviously a certain realism that comes with delivering kind of this photorealistic experience that I don't know.
I just think it's really magical.
I mean, this gets to kind of the core of what the vision around virtual and augmented reality is of like delivering a sense of presence as if you're
they're together no matter where you actually are in the world.
And I mean, this, this experience, I think is a good embodiment of that where it's like, I mean, we're in two completely different States, halfway across the country.
And it just like, you know, it looks like you're just sitting right in front of me.
It's a, it's pretty wild.
You know, it starts off with a small number of people doing these very detailed scans, right?
Which is, that's the version that you did and that I did.
And, you know, before there are a lot of people who we've done this kind of a scan for, we probably need to kind of over-collect
expressions when we're doing the scanning because we haven't figured out how much we can reduce that down to a really streamlined process and extrapolate from the scans that have already been done.
But the goal, and we have a project that's working on this already, is just to do a very quick scan with your cell phone where you just take your phone, kind of wave it in front of your face for a couple of minutes, say a few sentences, make a
have the whole process just be two to three minutes and then produce something that's of the quality of what we have right now.
So I think that that's one of the big challenges that remains.
And right now we have the ability to do the scans if you have hours to sit for one.
And with today's technology, I mean, you're using a meta headset that exists.
It's a product that's kind of for sale now.
You can drive these with that.
