"Logitech's new QuickCam Fusion is designed for that casual conversation between friends or as a Web conference business tool, the company said. Priced at $99.99 in the U.S and available this month in both the U.S. and Europe, the webcam features a wider lens with 78 degrees of visibility and requires Windows 2000 or XP to operate.... Video Effects software maps facial expressions by tracking up to 22 points on the face, around the eyes, eyebrows, and mouth... The software then allows you to pick your own avatar... which then mimics the facial movements and expressions determined by those points. Microsoft said it worked with Logitech to endorse both the webcam and the video effects software for Windows 2000 and XP. The webcam and software are also supported by AOL and Yahoo Instant messenger." That's from the Gadgets Blog at CNet.
