About this tag
Synthetic avatars are computer-generated, animated digital personas that can mimic human expressions, gestures, and speech in real time. On WindowsForum.com, discussions focus on Microsoft's implementation of synthetic avatars within Copilot, specifically the Portraits feature in Copilot Labs.

Topics cover the technical aspects, user experience, and potential applications of these avatars in enterprise and personal computing contexts.
