summary

48 participants (10 VR novices) customize avatars inside Meta Horizon Worlds using the Meta Quest Pro with facial and eye tracking, then 44 qualitative interviews reveal a persistent lack of representative options for race, hairstyle, and skin tone and a surprising number of users reporting embodied self-identification with nonvisually similar avatars. The paper measures concrete customization gaps, shows platform-specific constraints, and notes limits from sample size and single-platform data while offering design-focused recommendations.
