These performance requirements are very heavy and need extra hardware.
So they arent likely to be rolled out as a feature soon.
Once this is a feature, it may be even more important to be aware of the privacy implications.

punch Edit Avatar to edit your avatar.
You should now see what your avatar creation options are.
