Facebook Spaces是該公司一年前推出的社交VR應用程序，它正在獲得一個全新的化身系統和定製工具，Facebook在最近的一篇博客文章中表示，其目的是讓頭像「比以前更具表現力和可定製性」。

新的頭像系統包括「數百個新選項」，將具有新的頭部形狀，髮型，面部特徵以及選擇身體類型的能力。此次更新還將附帶新的控制項，用於調整頭像功能的大小，位置和角度，以及對通過機器學習演算法運行照片以推斷頭像的自動頭像創建器進行全面更新。

「將來自整個團隊的藝術家和工程師聚集在一起，我們利用電影動畫，圖形，遊戲角色設計和數學技術為空間創建了一個全新的重新版本化身，」該公司表示。

「我們一直致力於通過更豐富的材料，更好的照明和陰影讓虛擬形象在VR空間中感受更多。我們還調整了引擎蓋下的技術，讓頭像身體動作看起來更加流暢和自然，「 Facebook Spaces的 創作者繼續說道。

Rift在去年發布的測試版中，該應用程序基本上可讓您在私密多用戶環境中與朋友和家人聯繫，您可以在其中共同觀看360視頻，吸引空氣並 玩迷你遊戲。您還可以直接通過Facebook進行互動，將VR自拍發布到您的時間軸上，與任何人進行Messenger視頻聊天，無論他們是否在VR內部，甚至直接向Facebook Live直播您的應用內漏洞。

Facebook Spaces 自此更新以包含對HTC Vive的支持，其中包括跨平台訪問。Facebook的社交VR Rachel Rubin Franklin負責人去年年底表示，Vive支持「僅僅是個開始：我們正在努力將Facebook Spaces帶到未來更多的VR平台和設備中，敬請期待。」

『Facebook Spaces』 Overhauls Avatars to Be More 『fluid and natural』

Facebook Spaces, the company』s social VR application which launched in beta one year ago, is getting an entirely new avatar system and customization tool, something Facebook says in a recent blog post was designed to make avatars 「more expressive and customizable than ever.」

The new avatar system, which includes 「hundreds of new options」 will feature new head shapes, hairstyles, facial features, and the ability to choose your body type. The update will also come with new controls to adjust the size, position and angle of your avatar』s features, as well as an overhaul to the automatic avatar creator which runs your photos through a machine learning algorithm to extrapolate an avatar.

「Bringing together artists and engineers from across our team, we drew on techniques from film animation, graphics, game character design, and mathematics to create a whole new, re-vamped version of avatars for Spaces,」 the company said.

「We』ve worked on making avatars feel more present in the VR space with richer materials, better lighting and shadows. We』ve also fine-tuned the tech under the hood to make avatar body movements look more fluid and natural,」 Facebook Spaces creators continued.

Released in beta last year on Rift, the app essentially lets you connect with friends and family in a private multiuser environment where you can communally watch 360 videos, draw in the air, and play mini-games. You can also interact directly via Facebook by posting VR selfies to your Timeline, engage in a Messenger video chat with anyone regardless of whether they』re inside VR or not, and even livestream your in-app exploits directly to Facebook Live.

Facebook Spaces has since updated to include support for HTC Vive, which includes cross-platform access. Facebook』s head of social VR Rachel Rubin Franklin said late last year that Vive support is 「only the beginning: We』re working to bring Facebook Spaces to even more VR platforms and devices in the future, so stay tuned.」
