  • Mark Zuckerberg recently demoed his humanlike VR avatars in an interview in the Metaverse.
  • He was asked about how the tech could be used to create virtual versions of deceased loved ones.
  • Zuckerberg said it was a complex idea but said there was "probably some balance" for the concept.

There's a chance Meta's highly realistic new avatars could one day be used as a way to interact with loved ones who have passed away.

In a recent interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg discussed the future possibilities of VR and the Metaverse.

The interview served as a debut for Meta's new Codec avatars that use scanning technology to build 3D models of the user's face.
