TechCrunch reports that their bodies are just floating in the virtual world without any legs confuses many people.
The avatars of Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of the company and another executive, Aigerim Shorman, were seen bouncing and kicking during the 'Meta Connect' conference demo.
The problem with the leg demonstration was that it used motion capture technology, instead of VR-based tracking.
"To enable this preview of what's to come, the segment featured animations created from motion capture," said the company.
The legs in the virtual world might not be as good as genuine legs for a while. "Seriously, legs are hard", said Zuckerberg.
