I found this video I thought was rather interesting.

It's about how developers have created a program that enables our virtual avatar to reproduce our emotion into the virtual world. He didn't really say what it was for, so hard telling what it would be used for. I mean most video games I know of (or play) do not involve me communicating with other people, unless through a microphone. And I do not believe this would be used for video conferencing programs such as Skype because obviously human to human is better than avatar to avatar. So I wonder what they will implement this program into? I think the idea is great and would definitely change the way we communicate in the virtual world, like he mentioned. I am just not exactly sure how. Anyone see a good use for this program that I may be missing?
Sounds really interesting. I guess people who really dislike reality and enjoy affinity spaces would love this. It really just sounds like a way to enhance affinity spaces by creating more anonymity, while keeping everything else the same. I personally think this is taking things a little too far, but i'm sure there's plenty of people who would use this type of service in a heartbeat.
