Are you fat? Microsoft wants to know. I came across this article on on Slashdot
"A newly disclosed Microsoft patent application — Avatar Individualized by Physical Characteristic — takes aim at fat people.
Read the patent. The physiological data can be gleaned from a third party health data collection repository, a healthcare smart card, a real-time physiological sensor
It sucks to be out of shape in real life but now my ass kicking avatar in my virtual world takes a hit too. :cry:
