Apparently, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 gives bad haircuts. Today my brother picked up the Xbox Live Vision Camera when he learned that you could map your face onto a character for Rainbow Six. I of course, was totally in favor of this idea. But it turns out that while the face mapping is actually pretty impressive, as you can see from the pic of my brother above, the hair mapping is pretty lousy. I also did a character of myself, and we both took pictures of what we actually look like for comparison. Load the rest of the post to see those!

I didn’t get to check out any of the other cool stuff the camera can do, like act as a controller for games or even to make a Gamerpic, but the face mapping was extremely cool by itself. The camera is a small manual-focus USB webcam, usable with a computer - quality is decent, but it’s still overpriced at $40 - except that you can map your face onto your Rainbow Six character!
