Praise be, my visionOS 26 persona is significantly less cursed!

Summary
After Apple’s recent announcement of enhanced avatars in its visionOS 26, Sarah Kimapesah recorded her experience with the new platform compared to its previous version.
Though the process of creating a persona is the same, the end product is much improved with better hair textures, skin, lash definition and facial sculpting.
Side profiles have also been improved, with a more 3D effect when turning the head.
Users can also customise lighting, skin tone and eyewear in the latest version.
The biggest improvement, however, is in the accuracy of facial expressions, particularly around the eyes, where monolids are no longer a caricature.
In addition to personas, Kimapesah was also impressed by the potential of editable widgets, such as a permanent wall panel for digital album art and reminders.
