Xbox Kinect Hacked to Play World of Warcraft

University of Southern California researcher Evan Suma has hacked the Xbox Kinect in a way that lets him play World of Warcraft with the Kinect. Using a “middleware” program that takes motions that the Kinect captures and translates them into different actions in-game, the Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit (FAAST) allows players to play WoW without a keyboard or mouse. Granted, at this point the number of commands are pretty basic. But with further research this could advance quite far. The video shows him moving (both the character and the camera), targeting, attacking, and casting a few spells. Check out the video below.
