Meta Announces Avatar Store
Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has announced a designer clothing store for digital avatars called Meta Avatar Store. Zuckerberg made the announcement in an Instagram livestream with Eva Chen, Instagram’s vice president of fashion.
Meta Avatar Store
An avatar created in the Metaverse only means more than a hundred by the user. Each avatar has unlimited possibilities. In addition, all avatars are unique from each other. Avatars consist of movable arms and legs, upper and lower body.
They also resemble human beings, especially with the ability to convey facial expressions. Similar to the real world, it is also possible to buy clothes for your avatars. It will also be possible to buy and sell digital clothing in this market. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg made a statement on the live broadcast.
We are opening our stores so you can buy digital clothes to shape your avatar. Stores will be available on Facebook, Instagram and Messenger. Digital goods will be an important way to express yourself in the Metaverse. I also expect the creative economy to be a major driver. I’m very excited to add more brands and bring this to VR soon.
According to Zuckerberg’s statements, the store will add digital clothing from brands such as Balenciaga, Prada and Thom Browne to the store. Also, more brands are planned to be added soon. The store is ready to go into service next week. At this time, no statement has been made regarding the pricing of digital clothing.
However, the biggest known feature about clothes is that free clothes will continue to be available for digital avatars. According to recent reports, the Meta Avatar Store is expected to be available simultaneously in the United States, Canada, Thailand, and Mexico next week.
Developing Meta Initiatives
The platform was announced weeks after Meta introduced newly updated 3D Avatars on Facebook, Messenger and Instagram. It allowed users in the country to accurately create their own 3D Avatars with a Metaverse platform.
Your 3D Avatar is called a cartoon version of yourself, describing how you look in a virtual environment. These 3D Avatars are available in many countries. It will also be available in India as of this week, according to the new announcement.
Once you create an Avatar on Facebook, you can use it on Facebook, Messenger App, Instagram Stories and DMs. You can also personalize it by adding custom emoticons. In addition, it is planned to allow you to design completely according to your own taste while personalizing in the future .
