I was told a little by saying "Please give me an image of an avatar" (ITmedia News) --Yahoo! News

My (Nishida) Me character.I often use this avatar in articles and video calls.Naturally, because it matches the taste of me, "I'm myself, it's different from myself."

　I wrote an article in a special feature on a magazine, but was told, "Please give me an image of an avatar because it will be posted on the alternative to the author's photos.""NEOHABITAT" made using the original source code of "Habitat".The screen is almost the same because it operates on the Commodore 64 emulator.The character was displayed like this.From now on, how do we show ourselves to others?With the spread of video conferences and avatars, how to show will definitely diversify.I would like to think again about "showing people to myself".

"Avatar" that uses an incarnation properly

　I don't think we'll explain it now, but avatar is a mechanism to point out your appearance on the service. The origin is Hindu, which is said to be from "Maha Avatara" (great incarnation), which refers to Vishnu's incarnation. If you like fantasy and science fiction, it is a very favorite subject and sound, and it is easy to understand that it is used from quotes to fiction to online services. As far as I know, the first word "avatar" in the Internet service is said to be "Habitat" released by Lucasarts in 1986. Currently, source codes are also released via the US video game museum, The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment. Since it is impossible to describe yourself in the early PC, it would have been natural to say that this character is your incarnation. In fact, that was the standalone game. Since then, almost 40 years have passed, but the word "avatar" has been used as it is. Vishnu has 10 Maha Avatara and is said to have used it properly. There are seven heroes who have trained in the mountains of India, so there are more gods. Well, anyway, "avatar" is a prerequisite. Considering the use of "incarnation" on the Internet service, there is no such word.
