Watch Out for Microsoft Avatar Kinect

Not much detail on Microsoft Avatar Kinect except for a single picture. However, if the rumors are correct, it could be the next big social thing.

Imagine you can control Xbox Live Avatar and engage with your friends using your own movement with the help of Kinect. You are no longer bounded with program script to let you dance or jump. Instead you can do it physically and your avatar will interpret it on the virtual world.

Anyway, this is what the rumors are saying. So, if it turns out otherwise, don’t blame me 🙂 . BTW, here is another shot from Glimpse Dog.

Some excerpts from another source (Winrumors)

The slides reference “Avatar Kinect” which Microsoft is set to introduce at CES. The software update, delivered over Xbox LIVE, will allow Kinect owners to interact with each other using their avatars. The avatars will have a separate area, much like Nintendo’s Mii channel, that will allow for users to control them using Kinect and interact to watch content or play games.
