Default Avatar Overhaul
A fresh identity for every new citizen joining the digital grid.
The Default Avatar Overhaul is a system-wide update to Meta Horizon OS that changed how new users appear upon first joining the platform. Rather than spawning with legacy blocky proportions, new users now receive updated base meshes designed for greater expressiveness and modern animation standards. This shift was not merely cosmetic but structural, allowing for deeper emotional expression through improved rigging.
