Here's a video of a guy playing an MMO with a Kinect controller.

I think this is the future of MMOs.  Maybe combine something like this with a VR headset that would give you more situational awareness?

 

And they talk about the exercise you'd get.

MMO'ers could be the healthiest people around.

Ahhhh to be young and alive in 2011........... Let's thank the God entity it's not the dark ages anymore and let's playfully slap both cheeks of Catholicism for holding back the march of scientific progress for so long. (Otherwise you and I, right now would be playing the ultimate mmo in a holodeck from Star Trek!

Although on the MMO I am currently playing I have almost all of the 100 hotkeys filled all of which I need to get fairly quickly when in large scale combat and although its painfully clear that the more console controllers will limit what you can do in a game....it is what the gaming industry wants for obvious reasons. So I would expect massive PR moves toward convincing us gamers that 3 controller buttons is far more 'epic' then 100+

I still click, I play so many alts hotkeys are but a dream to me. Plus I have video game ADD, by the time I would settle into all my macros/hotkeys I'd get bored. I think this is just the first few steps of fun. Imagine combining this with a virtual interface. om nom nom nom.

Plus we need to get off our collective asses.

 as a side note to our cultures overuse of calling each other ADD I would believe that you do not have gamers ADD but rather you like to figure things out and how to organize things efficently. You might find yourself moving towrad programming.
