Microsoftâs upcoming âAvatar Kinectâ was pitched as a glorified chatroom. It didnât sound that exciting. This real-time demonstration, though, at least makes it look remotely interesting.
The âchatroomâ thing also looks like a bit of fun, or at least it does now. Once YouTube is drowning in a sea of âwelcome to another NSFW episode of PS3 IS FOR TEH KIDZâ videos masquerading as âtalk showsâ, weâre liable to change our opinion. Actually, sitting through that Gettysburg address, weâre liable to change it a lot sooner than that.
Avatar Kinect is due this Spring, and will be free for all Xbox Live Gold subscribers.
