Avatar Kinect: first trailer and screenshots
The first video and screenshots for Microsoft’s newly announced Avatar Kinect have been released. The service is a social gathering for Xbox LIVE users set to hit Gold Members free of charge this spring.
Gamers can gather in one of fifteen sets and have discussion groups, with the Kinect camera tracking their facial expressions and reflecting it onto their Xbox LIVE Avatar. When the player talks, the Avatar’s mouth moves; when the player raises an eyebrow, so does the Avatar; when they flail their hands — you guessed it — the Avatar does, as well.
The ducks are going down.
The first screenshots can be seen at the gallery. The clip is below.
