These avatars will be available outside of VKontakte to other services in the VK ecosystem
In the near future VKontakte will launch virtual user avatars that will be available from inside and outside of VKontakte to other services of VK ecosystem. Alexander Tobol, technical director of VKontakte, said this in an interview at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
“If we understand that we will be in the virtual world in some time, we believe in it, it is clear for us that without your virtual avatar, without some of your virtual representation in the world inside all the services of VKontakte, so we will soon launch your virtual avatar, which will be available inside VKontakte services and will be available outside other services that work on our ecosystem,” – said Tobol.
He explained that the emergence of virtual user avatars is due to the fact that people are spending more time in the virtual world.
“When we’re interacting with friends, that time is growing in our day. And we need tools for self-optimization, self-actualization, aesthetics. A lot of people buy capsule collections of sneakers in the real world, and some people already buy capsule collections of sneakers in the virtual world that are theirs alone. And we want to provide this kind of self-fulfillment tool to our users, we are primarily moving in this direction,” Tobol added.
