Play World of Warcraft with Kinect

By Colin Ferris | 02 January 2011 | 6 Comments   

A group of USC researchers have been fooling around with Kinect. After hacking the device, they were able to translate certain movements into keyboard strokes. So what did they do once they got it working? Why play World of Warcraft of course!

While the researchers see it as a way to get kids more active while they play games, I see it as a testing ground for what the Kinect can really do. All these hacks that have come out within the first couple months of the Kinect really point to the potential in such a device. Personally, I can’t wait to see what people come up with next!
