World of Warcraft with Microsoft Kinect

Pretty cool. Not exactly practical for raiding or anything close to that really, but it is still awesome to see how Kinect can be used for stuff like this.
 
Who would want to stand there lurched over doing those types of movements while playing a game? That seems incredibly uncomfortable and bad for joints.

With a little imagination, this can seem exciting. Think about it: one day instead of raiding sitting in your chair at home, you could be jumping around spinning and casting spells with your hands in real life. That's way more compelling haha!!

Not likely. High level raiding requires something on the order of 20+ keybinds for most classes which I don't think any gesture vocabulary is cut out to handle. Not to mention the pace of action is often very high. I routinely clock well over 300+ inputs per minute for encounters that have lasted as long as 16 minutes.

5 keys per second? Do you have a caffeine IV or something?

Does "hey baby, I routinely clock well over 300 inputs per minute" work with the ladies?
 
If I did that AND played a mage, I would just "motion-bind" (compared to keybind) icelance to myself jerkin off. that way I could get my "fun time" AND kill a bunch of people at the same time ;)
Thats only funny for you wow nerds if you PVP post 4.0. ~NERF MAGES

That is highly class dependant and not all of those keybinds are used all the time. really you just need various abilities out for certain situations. You change your setup as needed.
 
Looks like after using it for a while you'll end up with a hunch back.

No thanks.

... This is just a science fair project, it is not in production... Looks promising for if/when they hit that point though.
