Motion sensing systems in gaming is definitely a trend that will keep gaining its expansion in the recent years. There is a catch however. A lot of popular games nowadays are not prepared for this kind of input. Or at least out of the box they aren’t. Guys from USC Institute for Creative Technologies, have developed a Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit tastefully christened FAAST that, as shown in the video after the jump, hacks World of Warcraft into a dialog state with Microsoft Kinect. FAAST is will not only work with WoW, probably with some other MMORPGs as well but what are those games is yet unknown. So are developer’s plans on the toolkit apart from that by bringing motion control experience to already popular games they are looking forward to help people recover from physical disabilities or simply shape up. The bottom line so far is that you can play World of Warcraft on Kinect.
