Great news! Although not officially announced, Microsoft is planning to release Avatar Kinect on 27th July. Winrumors reports that the information on the launch date has been provided to them by company insiders. I really do hope this rumor turns out to be true because the release of this gadget has been postponed several times in the past few months. Avatar Kinect Avatar Kinect is a modern chatroom where you can chat with your friends in one of the 15 themed environments and which shows, with the power of Kinect, your facial expressions right on the screen. If you need to refresh your memory, you can re-watch the video when Avatar Kinect was introduced. Avatar Kinect will be made available via Kinect Fun Labs which allows players to play fun and, so far, free gadgets using Kinect.
