Ready Player Me
Ready Player Me is an AI-powered platform that provides a comprehensive avatar system for games, apps, and VR/AR experiences. Developed to work with a variety of development environments — including Unity, Unreal Engine, React, and native mobile solutions — Ready Player Me allows for the easy integration of avatars into different digital experiences.
Users can create avatars using a simple selfie or by starting from a preset design. These avatars are highly customizable, allowing users to tailor them to their preferences with thousands of customization options.
The platform supports both full-body and half-body avatars. The former is designed for a complete representation, suitable for a wide range of virtual environments, while the latter is optimized for VR experiences — including just the head, torso, and hands.
Ready Player Me utilizes GLB files for storing avatars, which is a standardized 3D file format that contains detailed information about the model, its materials and skeleton.
Finally, we’ll add that Ready Player Me is onto something, having secured a $56M funding led by Andreessen Horowitz and having a collaboration with over 3,000 partners. So, if you’re into extended reality stuff – you may want to try it out.
