Meta, the owner of Facebook, has introduced a number of aesthetic options for 3D avatars on Facebook, Messenger, Instagram Stories and direct messages (DMs) for users in North America and elsewhere. From now to Feb. 28, for instance, they can dress their avatar in the colors of the Cincinnati Bengals or the Los Angeles Rams, the two NFL teams that, on Feb. 13, will be competing in this year’s Super Bowl. NFL fans who support neither team can dress their avatar in a neutral shirt. Other, permanent options include facial shapes and “assistive devices” for people with disabilities.
