I can't wait for this camera. Seriously I can't wait and think I'm gonna implode if I don't get one.
this is so awesome!!

There are some great applications for the face mapping, not only putting your face on your character but also how about being able to watch other people play over live on games such as fight night or madden with your face appearing on a member in the audience along with everyone else who is watching!

Can you imagine some of the images people will be putting ingames. This is going to be interesting.
