Microsoft is launching its Live Vision camera for the Xbox360 some time in September, the company announced at the Seattle Gamefest.

The camera will be bundled with a game called Totemball, in which a gamer will wheel a totem pole around objects and try to collect certain tokens.

Gamers’ movements will be captured by the camera so that they play the game without using a control pad, so that a similar affect will be had as when using Nintendo’s Wii remote.

The Live Vision camera will also be used for mapping gamers’ faces when creating avatars and functions as a webcam.

It’s expected to hit the shelves at around $40.
