Kinect for World of Warcraft: The researchers want to heal
First ” 3D Sex Villa “, now” World of Warcraft (WoW) “. After the thriXXX with the announcement of the headlines provided had game developers first (sex) PC Games Kinect-making will fit the house (from which, however, obviously nothing is ), now draw fans of that massively multiplayer online role-playing game after . For them it is the – in the tech scene is not entirely unknown – Scientists at the University of Southern California Institute for Creative Technologies ( ICT ).
They have a toolkit called Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit ( FAAST ) was developed with the aid of not entirely easy control over WoW characters through body movement and gestures, they perform a special leaves. However, this kit is still in its early stages, what you modified something back to the stressful dislocations can not see that in the video to see her get the following:
Claims to be the scientists are planning not to make their technology available to gamers, but for motor rehabilitation of stroke patients and for physical fitness of obese children to use.
Now, however, speaks nothing against the fact that Microsoft itself is treading this path. A brief reminder: the software giant Kinect onto the market as followed to the foot of the hack of the API of the device.

Some clever adviser they must be either the company could have the negative consequences have convinced that the clincher with a community of hackers. Or was he a farsighted Fuchs, and recognized the (economic) potential of such an “opening” was in. If in fact even computer games were Kinect control means, which could then be sold larger quantities – perfect functionality provided.
Well be that Microsoft wanted to follow that route anyway, sooner or later and then with corresponding license agreements. Now the group but it was anticipated and it was to make the best of it. After all, Microsoft could save in this way the trouble to have to develop PC-driver himself. And now that Microsoft has yet to legally exploit the vulnerability API takes the field,wow power leveling should be rather unlikely. I’m curious to see how the whole thing goes on …
Finally, a word about World of Warcraft: Recent results of a now three-year study of the working group Digital Game & Gaming Research at the University of Duisburg-Essen, released this month, was beginning to close, lay down that the clichéd image of WoW Players must be reconsidered. Here gamers will especially highlight the social skills. I like to other sites have mentioned already, it seems to be some sort of trend, image positive gamers want to miss one and everyone should therefore decide how he interprets the results for yourself.
