MeetinVR, a company dedicated to bringing virtual reality experiences into collaboration, recently announced an exciting strategic partnership. By working with Wolf3D, a brand specializing in 3D representations for VR and AR experiences, MeetinVR is giving users a new way to create avatars. The two companies have built an innovative VR avatar system that allows users to generate their own VR avatar using nothing but a selfie.

Wolf3D developed the 3D avatar technology after successfully raising around 1.2 million euros in funding this year. The result of the funding round was a software called “Ready Player Me” which allows anyone to create full-body avatars from a camera extension. You can even take your avatar with you throughout the different games you’re involved in.

This technology could be an incredible step forward in developing more immersive environments for team work between remote employees in the work-anywhere landscape.

Creating More Powerful VR Experiences

The MeetinVR and Wolf3D partnership means that users can generate their own VR avatar through the MeetinVR web portal. Using the Wolf3D extension, you simply select a picture, edit your avatar to suit you, and you’re ready to go.

This new partnership demonstrates a powerful step forward in the efforts that MeetinVR has engaged in to make VR collaboration more effective. In 2017, the company was using pill-shaped avatars with no faces or hands to represent people in virtual environments. Over the years, the company evolved with robot-like avatars capable of replicating user movements.

Human-like avatars started to emerge in 2018, allowing for more meaningful interactions between people who couldn’t share the same physical space. In 2019, MeetinVR learned more about the importance of avatar design and how companies relied on the virtual avatars they say in VR to enhance productivity and connectivity. 2019 led to the most complex avatar design that MeetinVR had ever unleashed, with the option for users to edit everything from eye shape to hairstyle.

Now, with the Wolf3D partnership, MeetinVR believes it can accomplish even more with avatar design, and ensure that individuals feel fully immersed in their VR experience.

Bringing More Of Yourself into Virtual Worlds

Being able to connect with realistic spaces and versions of your coworker in a virtual reality setting is crucial to the future of collaboration. VR tools have the power to bridge the gap between workers all around the globe – but only if the experiences we have in virtual reality are as immersive and realistic as possible. Effective avatars are an important step in this direction.

By working together with innovators in 3D development, Wolf3D, MeetinVR has been able to accelerate it’s innovation rate in the VR space and unlock new avatar opportunities for customers. This new technology will give users the option to bring themselves into their virtual worlds in a brand-new way. Plus, avatar creation only takes a few clicks. The technology is available to explore today.

MeetinVR customers can visit their web portal to start building an avatar now.
