How To Create Your Persona On Apple Vision Pro

In this blog, I will guide you through how to create your Persona on Apple Vision Pro. Also, I will share some tips to improve the appearance of your Vision Pro Persona.

What is a Persona on Apple Vision Pro?

When you receive a video call on your Vision Pro, you can see the recipients in a life-size window. But how will they see you and your movements? That’s where the digital Persona feature of visionOS comes into play.    Once you create your digital Persona, other participants in a video call will be able to see your dynamic and realistic 3D avatar. The Persona Virtual Camera on Vision Pro records your real-time hand and facial motions and renders them to present an animated spatial depiction.   So, whether you are video calling using FaceTime, Zoom, or Microsoft Teams or need to capture yourself in any app on Apple Vision Pro, your digital Persona can easily express your emotions and gestures. Hence, it’s a must-have feature! Now, if you were wondering how to record your Vision Pro persona and set it up correctly, just follow the steps outlined below.

How to create a Vision Pro Persona

When you are setting up your Vision Pro for the first time, it allows you to create your Persona. However, if you’ve skipped that, you can set it up later from the Settings app. But before we start, there are a few things that need to be taken care of to record your Vision Pro Persona properly.

Ensure proper lighting, background, and posture

Ensure that the lighting in the room is evenly bright and there are no shadows on your face. Style your hair in a way that doesn’t cover your face. Try to stand up against a plain, clean wall without any objects attached. While holding the headset in front of you, keep it aligned to your eye level and relax your shoulder.

How to edit or recapture your Persona on Apple Vision Pro

If you want to edit your existing Persona, go to Settings of your Vision Pro and select Persona. From the menu, select Edit details and customize the appearance. Once finished, select Save. Note: Travel Mode prevents you from capturing or editing your Persona. Also, you can access your Persona only after verifying your OpticID for Vision Pro. If you disable the OpticID, the existing Persona will be removed automatically to prevent others from impersonating you.

Tips to make a better Apple Vision Pro Persona

When I captured my Persona for the first time, the output did not look like me. If you feel the same, you may follow the tips below and redo your Persona on Apple Vision Pro.

Hold your Apple Vision Pro horizontally at eye level before you begin capturing and throughout the process. Refrain from shaking your hands. Ensure the room is well-lit and nothing is covering or obstructing your face. Don’t stand beside a bright window or keep lightning behind you. Avoid surrounding things such as wall decorations and chairs, and use a plain background. Tell others not to stand behind you. Please move your head slowly while recording. Vision Pro cameras may not properly record your accessories, such as AirPods, hats, earrings, etc. So, you may create your Persona without wearing them and later edit it.
