They really bury the important, good stuff.

>It was previously believed that other people on a call will be displayed as an icon or Memoji. That's still likely to be the case for group calls. For one-on-one chats in which both participants are wearing a Reality Pro, the report suggests that FaceTime will render realistic versions of their face and body. Processing limitations seemingly prevent this feature from being available for group calls. Other companies, such as Meta, typically render users in a more cartoonish fashion (and don't yet include legs).

So... it actually sounds like they're trying to move beyond this.

Is this big tech's vision of the future? Why do they want this virtual world shit to happen so bad?

It's a tech demo/precursor for AR, not the endgame.

It’s just a new form of technology and social interactions. No one forcing you or anyone else to participate. If it’s not your thing…then why even comment?

Yeah, really can't see that anyone is actually so eager for this to be available.
