I believe on this occasion it would mean 'An image representing a user in a multi-user virtual reality'
Though on other occasions it could mean.....
-The incarnation of a Hindu deity, especially Vishnu, in human or animal form.
-An embodiment, as of a quality or concept; an archetype: the very avatar of cunning.
-A temporary manifestation or aspect of a continuing entity: occultism in its present avatar.
