Avatar pedestal preview

A pedestal to preview and spawn avatars, calculating colliders in real time.

Avatar pedestal preview preview

A pedestal to preview avatars and spawn them into the world.

Problem

Users needed to see an avatar before using it, and spawning an avatar of unknown shape needed correct collisions so it would behave properly in the world.

Approach

The pedestal shows a preview of the avatar and calculates its colliders in real time when spawning it, along with the other setup it needs.

VR constraints

Avatars come in all shapes and sizes, so the collider calculation has to handle that variety at runtime without hiccups in a live VR session.
