I have said it before and I will dare say it again! These Kinect hacks keep coming thick and fast. What we have today to share with you guys will definitely please those who love playing the first person shooter (FPS) games . A Youtube user  who goes by the name demize2010 has managed to hack Kinect, the motion controller and used it to play Call of Duty. Video demo follows after the jump.

Kinect Call of Duty

This hack was possible due to FAAST ( a toolkit for Kinect), OpenNi/Nite and GlovePIE. As you can see in the video Nintendo’s Chuck and Wii  remote was used to perform the walking and shooting tasks respectively.

Here’s how the hacker describes his awesome looking hack:

My objective with call of duty was to get a playable experience – difficult considering the precise movements needed and the fact COD was never designed to be played like this! At the moment FAAST just activates simple button presses, whilst you could use this for movement and looking about please see my other videos for why this isn’t so hot for fast, precise movement.

For these reasons normal walking is done with a chuck and a Wii remote was used to get the precision aiming – though I stuggled to find an IR script that works nicely (this is using the gyro’s in the wii instead). If anyone has a good working IR FPS script for GlovePie please send me through a link!

Bonuses of using kinect on an FPS is the ability to lean, duck, pick up, reload and stab realistically, cool huh? You can play this sat down as well ;)
