A trailer for Microsoft's upcoming chat room application, Avatar Kinect, shows off exactly what you will be able to do with your Xbox Live pals over the internet.
The software is able to mimic your actions and convey them through your chosen Avatar, allowing you to have virtual chats in several different virtual environments. The trailer shows off a TV show studio, a cosy lounge and a park, with the ability to record your discussions and post them to social networking websites.
Sounds pretty nifty. What do you think of it? Check out the video below, which includes a segment from Microsoft's CES 2011 keynote presentation - CEO Steve Ballmer introduces the new program in a similarly virtual Avatar style.
