Does anyone else find it odd that you can't utilize the same Avatar throughout all games built on the Oculus platform? It is baffling that I have to create a new avatar in each game where the options and design are completely different. I'd like to exist as one Avatar no matter which game I'm playing, and possibly have some options to customize the outfit of that same avatar per game. It would lend a much more consistent experience, in particular as my friends and I travel between apps together while in a party.
I went into Pokerstars VR and noticed it defaulted my avatar to my "home avatar" so that is promising. Seems like then it is up to the individual game makers to take advantage of the avatar SDK. I guess I answered my own question, so I imagine we just need to lobby our favorite game makers to integrate it!
Yep, the avatar sdk allows any game to use the avatars of you and your friends.
The main issue is the Oculus avatar system is extremely limited. The new Facebook avatars look even worse (can't even have a beard so far, at least in Venues beta).
The visual style is also very cartoony, which doesn't fit with games like Lone Echo, RoboRecall, etc, that have very specific art styles for the character's body.
