More people are looking for a better virtual experience. Now is an exciting time for developers of 3D avatars. People start to represent themselves in virtual space. There is an increasing demand to create virtual identities. People not only need avatars for games but for virtual social spaces like Mozilla Hubs. Ready Player Me teamed up with MeetinVR last year. This team up makes virtual meetings possible using the personal avatars of attendees.

More customization options in the future for virtual reality avatars
These new developments are fairly new. We can expect Wolf3D to put in more tweaks where the virtual reality experience could get better. We are looking forward to more customization features. We can expect more outfits, height, and other built features.
Timmu Tõke, CEO of the company Wolf3D says that the ultimate goal of creating this avatar system is for users to have a universal virtual identity. This identity remains consistent and travels with them through every platform they are in. This means a lot to our virtual reality experience, where things get more real.
