Building legs for avatars has taken Meta some time to perfect — hence, all these floating torsos in the metaverse up until now. As the company explained, "legs are hard!" Real-life legs that are blocked from the headsets's view won't render correctly. And disembodied or wrongly placed legs would be a truly disturbing sight for users. Now that Meta can confidently ensure that legs and torsos line up accurately with Quest 2 and Quest Pro, your full body will be present within VR.

Avatar legs will make their debut in Horizon Worlds first and will be added to other experiences "over time as [Meta's] technology improves," reads the announcement.
