From Microsoft Research, so not an official release.

Digital Effects, a plug-in for MSN Messenger video chatting, produces special effects for video communication. While the plug-in loads, users can select 3-D costumes or other digital effects in a pop-up window, and those effects will be applied to a selected photograph. Users also can blur the background of photos to help protect privacy.

I tested the earlier version, now im gonna see what they improved, its very nice software to make stupid faces in webcam and other stuff.

Everyone should try it, at least everyone with a webcam you will find a great add to webcam conversations, digital 3D effects very perfect and work very nicely

you can instantly add to yourself a:

-hat

-bear

-diferent face volumes

-glasses

and you can turn around the face and still it will manage to stick the model to your face, with diferent angles.

Sounds like features of iChat in Leopard.

Apple is playing catch up with others in this. ;)

Creative, Logitech and Microsoft already have products that do something similar.

    • Microsoft Opens Fairwater: Wisconsin AI Campus Runs as One Supercomputer via 800G Ethernet

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
