Why You'll Love Avatar Kinect for the Xbox 360 Console
Avatar Kinect has finally made its way to the Xbox 360 via the Xbox Kinect and now that it's finally here, these are Avatar Kinect's greatest features that you're bound to love.
Bring Your Avatar to Life
Avatar Kinect takes your still Xbox 360 Avatar and brings it to life. With Avatar Kinect, you are the controller and your Avatar mimics your body movements and facial expressions in real-time and performs them on screen. Simply put, when talking your Avatar will display the same hand, mouth, head and body movements '" acting as an on-screen representation of yourself.
Virtual Settings
Avatar Kinect takes place in an online real-time virtual world and offers up to 15 different and unique virtual settings for Xbox Live members to choose from. Regardless of the mood you're in, there's a virtual setting for you and you'll have the option of choosing from such great virtual settings as a virtual Talk Show, Performing Stage, Sports Party Stage, and much more.
Group Avatar Chat
While Avatar Kinect brings your Avatar to life, it's Group Chat function is what brings Avatar Kinect to life. Imagine being able to party up with up to 7 other friends, sitting in a virtual setting, and talking with your Avatars as though you were really there, and that's exactly what you'll get with Avatar Kinect's Group Chat. Different virtual setting will change the mood and activity for Group Chat like performing live concerts for friends or asking your friends questions in a mock talk show. With the Group Chat feature of Avatar Kinect, you'll be able to sit down and get in touch with your friends without leaving the house, whenever you want to, and all via the new and free Avatar Kinect for the Xbox 360.
Showing Off your Style
Having a live Avatar, exploring virtual settings, and talking with your friends in a virtual world with live Avatars is great and all, but if you're anything like me, you'll likely get the most fun out of showing off your style and Avatar gear with this new Xbox 360 app. Your Avatars are fully customizable from their hair styles, accessories, shoes, shirts, slacks, and more and Avatar Kinect creates a great platform to flaunt your Avatar's style sense.
