Microsoft’s fascinating Avatar-based video chat tool, Avatar Kinect, is now available from Xbox Live Marketplace. The launch is two days early.
According to the item description: Express yourself with your Xbox avatar! See your facial expressions and gestures on your Xbox avatar as you chat with friends in our 3D stages and produce your own TV shows. Avatar Kinect requires Xbox LIVE Gold membership and is a large download but well worth it!
One of the touted features at E3 is the ability to stream sessions live on Facebook and upload vids to YouTube, but it is not active yet.
