Meta is giving Quest Avatars in Quest Home a new addition - legs. So, if you're rocking a Quest Avatar, get ready to see some virtual legs soon.
Currently, if you're a beta user, your legs won't be visible unless you check them out in a virtual mirror. And, it seems that the avatar won't mimic crouching movements when you do so, which is understandable, as there isn't a way to track leg movement in today's consumer VR systems.
Although many VR apps and games made by other companies already let you have virtual legs, none of the VR systems you can buy right now come with the ability to track your legs, so the virtual legs don't move exactly like your real legs when you look down. Even though Quest headsets can track your hand movements and let you use your hands instead of controllers, they don't do the same for your leg and foot movements, at least for now.
Back in October of last year, Mark Zuckerberg revealed that Meta was working on the idea of adding legs. Up to now, users have mentioned they've got legs only in Horizon Home, that place where you land when you start up your headset. However, things might change as we get closer to the Meta Connect 2023 event.
