# AvatarEditorRecomp: a Kinect-preview Avatar Editor PC port

> AvatarEditorRecomp statically recompiles the Fall 2010 Kinect-preview Xbox 360 Avatar Editor into a PC application with ReXGlue. Its code provides a native D3D12 renderer, avatar asset handling, item-catalog search and keyboard or XInput control. The build uses a user-provided editor executable and matching dashboard assets.
