WHAT’S AN AVATAR?
The "avatar," a term derived from the Sanskrit "avatāra" (Sanskrit: अवतार), has been a central concept in Hinduism for thousands of years. The term literally translates to "descent" in Sanskrit and represents the physical manifestation of a deity or spiritual entity on Earth. Our primary encounter with Avatars in Western culture occurred within the digital realm. Typically, we used to describe avatars as the small, animated figures or characters that individuals select to symbolize themselves in video games, on social media platforms, and within online forums.
THE WORLD OF AVATARS IS CONSTANTLY EVOLVING
Today, Avatars hold greater potential than ever before. In 2018 Apple launched their Avatars as “Memojis”, introducing a new term for the younger generation to refer to their digital representations. But sending a real-time cartoon of yourself to your friends is just the tip of the iceberg of what Avatars are capable of. We are increasingly integrating digital avatars into various aspects of our lives. Today, even sensor-captured data, such as a person's facial expressions and body language, can be incorporated into our digital avatars to infuse them with greater realism.
However, digital avatars still have some limitations. Just imagine if your avatar could enable you to physically experience, touch, and even smell distant places and objects. Forward-thinking innovators worldwide are already combining robotics, virtual reality, and augmented reality technologies to enable avatars to convey sensory information back to their users. These advancements introduce a compelling physical dimension to avatars, which will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping our future.
