MRDL was built to establish consistency across Mesh products and surfaces. The system defines principles, components, patterns, and spatial behaviors that allow teams to create immersive experiences with clarity, structure, and ease.
MRDL creates a unified foundation that improves user experiences, reduces design overhead, and accelerates product development. Shared patterns and reusable components help teams move faster, maintain consistency, and focus on solving new problems instead of rebuilding existing solutions. The system supports rapid updates across apps, simplifies onboarding for designers and engineers, and shortens overall shipping timelines.
Avatar Auto Generator and Customizer
The Avatar Auto Generator and Customizer creates personalized avatars from a user’s photo or video, offering an easy, inclusive, and engaging way for people to represent themselves in Mesh. The system generates avatars that reflect identity across gender, ethnicity, culture, and age, while ensuring user data is handled safely and respectfully.
The experience is designed to be intuitive, welcoming, and emotionally resonant. Autogenerated avatars serve as the starting point for deeper customization. The focus is on inclusivity, accessible guidance, and interactions that feel fun and personal.
