World of Warcraft + Wiimote + 16 foot screen + gesture input

[harryp7111]

This is amazing... i tried to do a similar thing using glove pie trying to get all the moves synced with a motion.. but there are too many.... i think it calls for macros to work efficiently in a proper dungeon or battleground

[mugwuffin22]

Great concept, and unlike some of the lazy twats on here trolling , you are trying to instill a new idea on playing a game what's so wrong about that people?? 

[garthshoe]

@mugwuffin22 thanks! I don't worry about the people who don't get it. It's an experiment, and not everybody will understand the reason for it.

[jonathanmanuelmusa]

the end to fat nerds

[7amooddxb636]

awesome!

[samen113]

stuff like this would kill gaming l

[erdna569]

I wonder how the flyer would work....

[alphenchick]

FAKE

[Chinkeyface]

Lol imagine trying to pvp with this shite

[AirCalv]

okay lets go from north to south

[nabunda1]

Hello I am a stupid geek

[loonabella]

I will say it again.. IDIOT! haha Full of fail...

[thegoldman1996]

it looks ok but i think you would get all tired but cool idear very cool

[tanis824]

omg pvp would be sick... lmao say someone is dying and is running away.... so theres a chase... lmao whoever is more fit would win lol

[denniswarcrafter1]

You should try projecting it on a half tube, that gives you the feeling that its seriously surrounding you, that would be badass.

[Winner2611]

lol how fucking tiring and laggy must this be in raids and bg's lol

[ABTGFX]

i like the idea, it would be interesting to see where this would end up

[bigforkyFTW]

lol i hope people dont get the wrong idea about WoW.. its not just killing boars lol...

[blackadd3r]

You forgot to loot! Always loot, there could be a random epic in it!

[loonabella]

@blackadd3r hahaha for realz homie

[tomas4ya]

wow thats good

[Roycesraphim1]

All you need to cull the lard from the player population is to give a bonus for using this setup. Doing a top tier raid on Cataclysm and your skills are timing out, use the wiimote running setup to get a .5 second cooldown bonus.

[joachimsba]

thh if u get tired while doing that u should try to get out more

[TheMastaGlazy]

I dont realy like this idea xD

i just whanna sit on my ass and play using a keyboard and mouse or a controller.

And this lagged Horribly!!!

And after killing a mob not only my character will have to heal, but me too because i would be exausted and KO on the ground!

[s1acker69]

Imagine running from the bottom of the map to the top :D Exercise haha

[Brainiz619Enigma]

i wish if this game would be played like this.not by computer but by excersing.we could say to the guild:LETS GO RAID.

NAH...IAM TIRED AND MY FEET HERTS

[bja6a]

getting in shape while playing WoW?!? it's like some kind of dream!

[GrowThirdLeg]

@bja6a you could just do what i do and workout while you fly or work on your professions, or craft a ton of items.

[markenbla1]

lol, that looks soo wierd

[missnewbienoob]

I would not want to be in a raid or attempt PvP w/ this tech. My toon would be dead b/c I'd be passed out on the floor from exhaustion.

Still, I'd love to see this tech streamlined, more efficient & avail. commercially for wow. I'd be skinny again. After all, it'd be sorta difficult to eat nachos & drink UV Mountain Dew when running around WG. Just doing that long walk bet. Darkshore & Astranaar, think of the pounds you'd lose on that 10-mile hike 5 to 10 times a session while lvling. I want!

[TheStealther]

hehe, for once you can say that you walk as much as your char :)

[BlooScreen91]

DO A BLADESTORM!! :D

[wyatt12k]

this isnt very efficient

[garthshoe]

It's not about efficiency. It's about a new kind of gaming experience.

[de0mix]

Like breaking into the gaming world of actually putting you in the game

[loonabella]

@garthshoe yeah.. its the "I cant get laid so lets see how we can get a bigger screen for WOW"

Loser... get a life and get laid man

[loonabella]

@pianogirl551 Screw you Pianogirl551 haha you and your boyfriend must be equally retarded.... correction.. you ARE equally retarded

[FredMaHead]

wts lagg or what ? :P

Gogo PVP with Wiimote :P

[proclubboy]

Yeah it was laggy. The machine was old and we were running at really high resolution.

[burtonium1]

nice experiment i must admit ;) make this more fluent, and you can do some production of controller then ;) hehe and then i would love to see someone saying: "that gamers are not fit!" :D:D:D:D

[IronHarper]

Mortal strike with a 1 hander???

Haha pretty cool vid otherwise mate, loving how you're taking a videogame and kinda making it accessible to some people who might think they're above it ;)

[dkcas12]

Nice video, ut how can i connectmy Wii Remote to my PC?

Ive been watchng some other videos and tutorials to connect my Wii Remote but seems in every tutorial i need a sensor bar and connect the wii console to my PC or it just dont work when i do without.

And i dont quite know how to connect my wii to the PC.

Could you maybe help me out with this?

If you got time make a tutorial vid on how to?

Would be great^^

[sheldon4life]

if every wow player got one of those only if they had mounts they would get one free imagine how many players would lose weight?

[orginallos]

great idea, but this, kinda, makes you tired? I dont think you could raid with this setup, also to low fps to realy use it. though, great idea! 5/5

[garthshoe]

Yup, you'll get tired. The idea was to explore a new way of playing the game. You're right that it wouldn't be practical to raid with other people who are using their keyboards.

And the slow frame rate was because the machine driving it was really old. We are getting a new machine for the lab soon.

[lookitsteddy]

were exercising and playing at the same time wow what a great way to play

[lank05]

it'd be hard to learn tho, with all the new gestures rather than just pressing a button.

Altho i think it'd be hilarious to play like this while drunk.

[SeanDevereux999]

Lol, this isn't fake... :P

But yeah, really is far to hard to control xD going from using that to mouse and keyboard would be a massive relieve. Cool idea though, and shows how flexible the wiimote scripts and keybind etc.. are

[LordIllidan98]

Now I see why your thin lol.

[belikejoshx]

The frames per second is just beautiful

[FairSpot]

OH! I would sooooo love the foot sensor part, if I could walk and make my character run. Just that part would be so cool. Imagine all the exercise I can get! i imagine your sensors and stuff to get it to work are out of my budget though. :o{

[swordbellums]

i blieve you bro

[garthshoe]

Garth here. It's 100% real. The delay when I stop running is because the running is on a timer. Whenever one of my feet crosses a horizontal boundary about 1 foot off the ground (which indicates running) the timer is told to restart. If the timer reaches the end that means I stopped running. The timer goes for maybe 2 seconds, so the character can keep running for about 2 seconds after I stop running.

[ManaMan1000]

if it was real, cool, but still would suck, too much lag and way to hard to control

[elizjshoe]

Poor boar, he was just wandering around living his life -- why do you have to kill him?

[gabrielmmk]

Totally fake.. after you stopped walking your character was still moving for about 2 secs... And the mount gesture looks like ur a dog pissing LMAO.. Who would want that..

[lewisrobson]

F  A K E

[MattDrys]

"So now i have killed the boar, and im happy"

lol

[gourdbox]

"And which button calls your parents to pick you up?"

hah, just kidding, good work.

[kewl412]

He looks like a peeing dog when he mounts up.. lol

[Pauper1]

You are one goofy guy, but this is pretty damn cool considering you can work out and play WoW! =P

[JoTee2244]

cool, and that makes me number 1?

[hellamikeycore]

Very nicely done! I gotta say though, the "mount" gesture seems more appropriate for perhaps a pet's "mark territory" ability, should it ever find its way into the game. :)

Treadmill and VR goggles next, maybe..?

[jollyblackflag]

to those who point out the impracticality, remember this is just an example of testing posibilities. No I would not want to play wow like that, but it shows what the technology is capable of. If more refined motion sensors are built, and the kinds of gestures used refined, I can see this being a really fun way to play

[Imilongtree]

Pretty coool.. but imho it just takes toooooo long. + youd get exhausted. in the time it took for you to kill 1 boar excluding the explaining i could of killed about 10. and what would you do if you have like 7 moves to use? :P

[RwC453]

lol theres just a guy playin on the comp in the backround followin all the directions the guy is sayin...

[ctrob71]

no, its the real comp being projected

[PoPwar1993]

its kinda cool, but i doubt its more fun than just playing it normally

[truefabledgk]

i know a hole raid group that would kill you in your sleep if you ever brung this typ of shit up . . . DO YOU RELLY THINK that player will want to get up from thir nice chairs and run in place wile swinging thir hands around

like a mad man !!!

[ctrob71]

lol

[gtafighter]

give that equipment to a fat couchpotato that refuses to work out and he'll be ripped like Chuck Norris once hes done with that!! any connections? lol

[AkarioTheReal]

Negative, that statement is false, because no man/woman can ever be 'Ripped like Chuck Norris' for Chuck Norris is not man he is a being of light.

[Someaznkid301]

haha thats a good way to get a work out

[technoguy06]

That is a really awesome use of technology. Good job.

[BGSoccerMagic]

cool, and that makes me number 1?
