Today, we\u2019re sharing what our company vision will look and feel like as we reimagine the way people come together and advance our goal of connecting a billion people with optimism and civility.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalized and Expressive Avatars<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know a person\u2019s avatar is an essential part of how they wish to be seen, and we want Roblox to be the go-to digital platform for connecting with others as one\u2019s authentic self. Indeed, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.roblox.com\/2022\/11\/insights-from-our-2022-metaverse-fashion-trends-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">research shows<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that the vast majority of Gen Z Roblox users have customized avatars, and half of them change their avatar\u2019s clothing at least once a week. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We\u2019re excited by how our next generation of avatars will make everyone\u2019s time on Roblox richer and more fun, no matter who they are or want to be with. So think about how great it could feel one day to hang out with friends who can be and look like anyone they want\u2014a jetpack-wearing ninja, an emo princess, or just like they do in real life. Or to collaborate at a company meeting where colleagues can see each other\u2019s expressions and body movements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-208368\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression.png\" alt=\"Expressive avatars\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression.png 1920w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-2.png 300w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-3.png 1024w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-4.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.roblox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/RBLX_SelfExpression_TrandReport_ps_11_Camera_02-1-1536x864.png 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Self-Expression<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The way people appear on Roblox is a vital part of their identity. Building the perfect avatar requires that it be easy to choose realistic-looking customizations\u2014skin tone, face and body shape, or body size\u2014that expresses someone\u2019s <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ethnic, cultural, and\/or gender identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An exciting new technology that will aid that in the future is generative AI. It will let anyone create an avatar body or hairstyle that embodies who they want to be, whether it\u2019s photo-realistic or picked from numerous art styles\u2014fantasy, cartoony, absurd, and so on. Then, they can augment their avatar with clothing, tattoos, and jewelry. So if dad wants to sport his signature mohawk and leather jacket in Roblox, he\u2019ll be able to do just that. And if his daughter wants to be Cleopatra in the 1920s, so can she.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Avatars that build emotional connection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In real life, people read others\u2019 feelings by their visible emotions and body language: if they\u2019re smiling broadly and standing up straight and loose, they\u2019re happy. That should be the same on Roblox.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is complex work, but we\u2019re already incorporating these dynamics with things like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/devforum.roblox.com\/t\/animate-your-avatar-with-your-movement\/2499944\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">animating avatars with movement<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Over time, we\u2019ll accelerate these lifelike avatar features with authentic blink rates and gestures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ultimately, our users\u2019 avatars should be extensions of who they are and aspire to be. That\u2019s why it\u2019s essential for everyone to be able to create an avatar they love. At Roblox, avatars aren\u2019t the end goal\u2014they\u2019re the foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connecting With Friends<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When people are with friends on Roblox, they\u2019re happier and they return more often to explore more experiences together. Research shows that being with real-life friends is the top reason people come to Roblox and that 35% of new users find at least one real life friend within a week of joining.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We want to foster a rich, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mfYz8weQm4M&amp;t=1230s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">interconnected network of relationships<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on Roblox, which is why we\u2019re building tools, such as <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.roblox.com\/2022\/12\/introducing-contact-importer-and-friend-recommendations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact Importer<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which launched last year, to make it easy to connect with existing friends\u2014or make new ones, like the millions of new friendships formed on Roblox every day.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, in the next month, we\u2019ll let users customize friends\u2019 names\u2014including using real names for people 17 and older\u2014to make them easier to identify. So envision two long-lost friends who reconnect on Roblox. They decide to call each other by the childhood nicknames neither has forgotten rather than Roblox names neither can remember, which will make it <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">even <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">easier to instantly find each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another aspect of enhancing people\u2019s ability to connect on Roblox is sharing memorable moments with others. So imagine that one day, the two old friends go to a virtual theme park with their families. After an hour of laughing, they take a screenshot capturing their joyful expressions on a digital roller coaster. We\u2019re building a way for people to share that roller coaster image\u2014or other videos or 3D moments\u2014to contacts outside of Roblox, and in the process, potentially discover that some of them are already on the platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-208355\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression.gif\" alt=\"Connecting with friends\" width=\"906\" height=\"464\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immersive Communication<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When people interact on Roblox, we want them to feel like they\u2019re together. In the coming months and years, we\u2019ll introduce immersive communications features that people will use every day to connect. For example, a K-pop band could put on a private concert for some contest winners. As the singers play their biggest hit, the fans get more and more excited, which pumps up the band and together, the fans and the singers belt out the lyrics. That\u2019s a kind of real-world connection that will soon be possible because they\u2019ll all feel like they\u2019re in the same place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At RDC, we announced <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/devforum.roblox.com\/t\/what-we-announced-at-rdc-2023\/2585405#roblox-connect-call-friends-as-your-avatar-19\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roblox Connect<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a way for friends to call each other as their avatars, is coming soon. When we roll out Connect, they\u2019ll be able to come together in a shared immersive space and sit at a bonfire, on the beach, or by a campfire, conveying their feelings and emotions with lively facial expressions and real body language.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-208381\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-1.png\" alt=\"Connect\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-1.png 3840w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-5.png 300w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-6.png 1024w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-7.png 768w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-8.png 1536w, https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/reimagining-how-people-come-together-through-communication-connection-and-expression-9.png 2048w, https:\/\/blog.roblox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/ConnectSplash-1920x1080.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3840px) 100vw, 3840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eventually, we\u2019ll allow users to initiate video calls on Roblox with people in different experiences.
