Kinect Hacked for World of Warcraft

Possibilities in Xbox Kinect widens as researchers from University of Southern California's Institute for Creative Technologies developed a Kinect hack for the fans of the World of Warcraft.

The USC team has "built a toolkit, dubbed the Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit (FAAST), which lets them quickly harness Kinect's various image processing and motion-sensing powers to whatever bits of code they desire."

It is also designed to be used with other games titles and  medically inspired software.
