Could a system like Kinect revolutionize MMOs?

EDIT: Just to clarify, the text below does not in any way propose people should be jumping around in their use of KINECT. The suggestions below fall completely outside the traditional waving-of-the-arms, getting up out of one's seat applications people tend to associate with KINECT. Okay, now that that's out of the way, onto the original text:

Think about it...instead of having to type out emotes you could either voice them or simply act them out. A more refined version of the system (Kinect 2.0) might even be able to read off your facial expressions and translate them to their in-game equivalent with near perfect fidelity. SOE has already kicked off something similar to this in Everquest 2.

...and now I just thought of another aspect of MMOs which facial/voice recognition hardware may just be able to revolutionize: cluttered U.I.'s.

No more having to sift through 10 different quick bars. Just assign a voice command to a specific ability or item and—presto!—as long as you've unlocked it, it's there for your use.

This system would be limited only by the player's capacity to remember the names of said abilities/items. Convenience allied to mental gymnastics!

Of course I'm not suggesting that this would supplant the traditional mouse and keyboard approach, merely complement it.

Jesus Christ. What is that.

Dude this is really starting to get ridiculous. There is a Suggestions section of the forum for a reason, please use it instead of repeatedly clogging up the General section.

I'm not suggesting anything. I'm asking a question.

Only the best Kinect game ever. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaVrAw1-zrY

Gonna miss LucasArts and this... adaptation... of Star Wars...

it makes me sad the l;ast SW game lucasarts ever produced was that monstrocity..

Are you suggesting that atrocity represents the apotheosis of Kinect's potential applications?

What would happens if the player puts his finger in his nose and get caught by the Kinect camera ?

Not sure it would be "refined"...

No. Just no.
