META'S NEW TECH TURNS 4 SELFIES INTO A 3D AVATAR
meta's avat3r can build a photorealistic 3d head from just four selfies—no fancy scanners, no hours of processing. it uses a vision transformer and a large reconstruction model (lrm) to create detailed 3d gaussians in minutes. it's not quite real-time yet, but this could make lifelike vr avatars as easy as snapping a few pics.
