Logitech Video Effects
21 06 2006Logitech have released FREE avatars and video effects that will work with compatible logitech web cams, according to the website:
- Avatars will move based on your actions.
- Accessories will appear naturally while you move.
These video effects and avatars can work with many IM programs (i.e. MSN messenger) or to alter still images.
The avatars could be used to show moods or emotions if the students were doing a PSHE or citizenship project, they could be used by students who are not confident or shy infront of a camera. If you have any other ideas how they could be used leave me a comment.
I had a play with avatars recently and set up an account with sitepal - I have cancelled my subscription since but I might come back to it at somepoint. The link to my first rough attempt is still working though. More details here http://blogofmrc.wordpress.com/2006/05/25/engaging-with-avatars/
