So, there's this Indiegogo campaign for a thing called FaceRig: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/facerig

Basically, what they're wanting to make is a program that will allow you to control an avatar's facial expressions and mouth movements via a simple webcam. They want to make it extremely easy to buy for pretty much anyone ($10-$15 for the cheapest one when it's complete). Donating a mere $5 will get you the beta license. You can use it live on Skype, Twitch.tv, and stuff like that, and you can record videos of it.

If you're wondering why I'm posting about this on the RWBY wiki, hold on, I'm getting to that part.

Once it's done, they'll sell packs of new official avatars for cheap, but they will also allow people to make and share their own avatars. The avatars will be customizable, as well.

So, my question is... If this thing becomes available, do you think there will be someone out there who will make avatars of RWBY characters? Would you use them? Imagine talking to one of your friends in a Skype video call as Ruby!

Also, I kind of just want to spread the word about this because I reeeeally want them to meet their donation goal. They deserve far more donations.

They already have a video to show what it's like. I think it's only in its alpha stage, but it already looks pretty cool.

P.S. If they don't reach their goal, they don't get any of the money, and the money you donated will be refunded to you.
