System and method for generating and displaying avatars

A system for establishing avatar component correspondence between a first digital environment and a second digital environment, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
• providing, via an application programming interface associated with the first digital environment, access to an avatar dataset comprising a plurality of avatar components, each avatar component described by component data including at least a component identifier and a component category;
• receiving, via the application programming interface from a computing device associated with the second digital environment, a request for a subset of the plurality of avatar components, the request specifying at least one filtering criterion for selecting the subset from the avatar dataset;
• transmitting, to the computing device via the application programming interface, the requested subset of avatar components and associated component data;
• receiving, from the computing device, a set of environment-specific avatar components generated by the second digital environment in a visual style native to the second digital environment, each environment-specific avatar component positioned in correspondence with a respective avatar component from the transmitted subset;
• for each correspondence between an environment-specific avatar component and a respective avatar component, automatically generating an identifying tag associating the environment-specific avatar component with the respective avatar component;
• and
• storing the identifying tags, wherein the stored identifying tags enable automatic generation of an adapted version of a user avatar for the second digital environment based on avatar data retrieved from the first digital environment and rendered using the environment-specific avatar components identified by the stored identifying tags.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations for establishing avatar component correspondence between a first digital environment and a second digital environment, the operations comprising:

• providing, via an application programming interface associated with the first digital environment, access to an avatar dataset comprising a plurality of avatar components, each avatar component described by component data including at least a component identifier and a component category;
• receiving, via the application programming interface from a computing device associated with the second digital environment, a request for a subset of the plurality of avatar components, the request specifying at least one filtering criterion;
• transmitting, to the computing device via the application programming interface, the requested subset of avatar components and associated component data;
• receiving, from the computing device, a set of environment-specific avatar components generated by the second digital environment in a visual style native to the second digital environment, each environment-specific avatar component positioned in correspondence with a respective avatar component from the transmitted subset;
• for each correspondence between an environment-specific avatar component and a respective avatar component, automatically generating an identifying tag associating the environment-specific avatar component with the respective avatar component;
• and
• storing the identifying tags, wherein the stored identifying tags enable the second digital environment to automatically generate an adapted version of a user avatar by retrieving avatar data associated with a user from the first digital environment and rendering the adapted version using the environment-specific avatar components identified by the stored identifying tags.
