WoW for Kinects - Games - Facepunch Forum

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62wj8eJ0FHw[/url] We've made it an important milestone in the increasingly long list of hacks that transform Microsoft's Kinect from Xbox 360 motion controller into something grander. World of Warcraft is now playable with Kinect hand-waving action. The Institute for Creative Technologies at the University of Southern California demonstrates its Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit (FAAST) technology in this World of Warcraft for Kinect demo. Using open source software and smarts, the eggheads at USC can control some of WoW's simpler actions—movement, spellcasting, targeting—with the Xbox 360 add-on. FAAST is designed to be used with off-the-shelf game software and can be configured to work with different titles. See the more mobile, possible future of MMO play in this YouTube video.

noone's gonna use that for proper raiding

[QUOTE=defyant;27038226]noone's gonna use that for proper raiding[/QUOTE] you havent even tried it dont jump to conclusion before trying it and the tech is perfected.

Now there's no excuse for getting fat from playing World of Warcraft.

[QUOTE=defyant;27038226]noone's gonna use that for proper raiding[/QUOTE] I doubt anybody will use it at all. Moreso since the really devoted players have long lost the use of their legs.

looks like you would get terrible back pains or a hunch from leaning forward all the time

[QUOTE=Hboybowen;27038254]you havent even tried it dont jump to conclusion before trying it and the tech is perfected.[/QUOTE] are you seriously serious most people who raid really need to press multiple buttons extremely fast, they're gonna have to wave their arms around like retards if they want to use that shit

I'd rather be a clicker. Also, why is he punching as a mage? meges dont melee... Looks incredibly impractical, complete waste of time, notihng more than xbox fanboys clutching at straws "IT IS GOOD, LOOK! WE CAN PLAY WOW ON IT"

[QUOTE=defyant;27038333]are you seriously serious most people who raid really need to press multiple buttons extremely fast, they're gonna have to wave their arms around like retards if they want to use that shit[/QUOTE] well Id rather be getting buff while raiding than getting fatter while raiding wouldnt you think I dont play WoW though

Looks pretty stupid.

:aaa: Holy shit, it's Steven Seagal.

[QUOTE=Hboybowen;27038254]you havent even tried it dont jump to conclusion before trying it and the tech is perfected.[/QUOTE] FYI: 99% of people who play video games, play them for their cheap entertainment value and to be able to conquer a universe whilest sitting on their ass, they don't want to wave their hands around like a retard and get exercise. If they wanted to do that, they'd go play football.

I for one would love if kinect was just PC compatible like the controllers are, use it to make your basic monitor act like a crude touchscreen, macros, ect.

Is it wrong that I automatically thought of this? [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ04mfAY2BU[/media]

Sounds extremely difficult. But then again, I've been pleasantly surprised before.
