Xbox Live Vision
The Xbox Live Vision Camera is a camera designed for the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.
Overview
The camera can be used for video chat, personalized gamer pictures, in-game video chat, and still pictures. The camera features 640x480 video at 30fps and is capable of taking still images at 1.3 megapixels. It also features 3 "themes", in which the dashboard background is changed to display the currently shown image over the default theme a certain way. The 3 "themes" are "watery", "edgy", and "dotty". The camera uses a standard USB 2.0 connection and is also PC and Mac OSX compatible.
The Xbox Live Vision Camera was announced at E3 2006 and released in North America on September 19, 2006, following a 1-month pre-launch period in which Toys 'R Us stores in New York City and Los Angeles sold them to build up hype. It will release in Europe and Asia on October 6, 2006 and in Japan in the near future.
