Kinect Hacked To Play World of Warcraft
Posted on 00:37 by Unknown
Since many had hacked Kinect to do all sorts of stupid stuff, why not mod it to do some real actions? That’s what this new hack is all about. 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. Yes, using Kinect to wave your hands around and control your World of Warcraft hero.
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. So the future of the mouse is your hand and your body?
