A screenshot with text: MetaHuman 5.6: our most powerful digital human toolset yet With MetaHuman 5.6, the digital human framework leaves Early Access and is now fully embedded in Unreal Engine. We’ve updated the Unreal Engine EULA so MetaHuman characters and animation can be used in any engine, such as Unity or Godot, as well as creative software like Maya, Houdini, and Blender so you can expect to see MetaHumans in more places. MetaHuman Creator now has enhanced fidelity thanks to improved materials, a larger scan database and improved models for processing scan data, plus new authoring workflows that will vastly expand the range of available options for faces, bodies, and clothing. The update also provides the ability to generate real-time animation from almost any camera or audio with MetaHuman Animator, and expands the MetaHuman ecosystem with new plugins for DCCs, as well as integration with the Fab marketplace. Check out all the updates in our latest MetaHuman blog post. In the text the following sentence is highlighted: We’ve updated the Unreal Engine EULA so MetaHuman characters and animation can be used in any engine, such as Unity or Godot, as well as creative software like Maya, Houdini, and Blender so you can expect to see MetaHumans in more places.

Our new paper just dropped: we tested whether people confuse virtual reality with reality.
Spoiler: They do!
Some even tried to sit on virtual chairs.

Two virtual characters in a simulated office setting. One character, wearing a pink hoodie, is seated with a tablet with the word 'InteVRview' on the display in front of them, while the other character, in a blue shirt, sits across the table, facing them.
