I completely agree, this absolutely horrendous for a visual presentation. A wii like character, no proper lighting, floating with no legs and the subtle fidget moving of the limbs, lack of facial expression and flapping mouth that hardly mimics the sound. What did facebook spend all their money on?

I'd rather see video or even a still picture of Carmack than this monstrosity.

A proper Mii would have been better. They are purposely cartoonish and can’t move in human ways.

This is trying to be vaguely human in hand and lip movement and it looks like bad marionette.

Hopefully it gets better but right now I’d rather just listen to the audio.

They should have licensed the graphical style from South Park, and they'd have a hit on their hands.

I’d be asking for more meetings at work if this is what I could look forward to.

The immediate comparison I think of is VRChat, which does literally everything on that list better and has by comparison a shoestring budget.

[jayd16]

Doesn't run on the Quest, for one. You're comparing a stand alone experience to a PC experience, no?

[crooked-v]

VRChat has had a Quest app for a while. It has limits on avatar/world complexity because of the limited processing power, but is otherwise an identical experience, including plenty of cross-platform avatars and worlds.

And the camera pans around, which John said is driven by someone on the production team... but, there is nothing to see there. I guess the motion is introduced to keep us from falling asleep?

[cma]

He says he didn't use the new face tracking because it glitches out too much, so it was using the old auto generated face expressions. Big WTF.

Wouldn’t it be great to read an honest postmortem report, a few years from now?

I happen to have a time machine. "After Zuckerberg retired to run for prime minister of the newly united Irish state, we conducted some serious soul searching. Turns out the only CEO in the valley with anything approaching taste was Steve Jobs! Gosh, who could tell at the time? Certainly not us."
