They hooked up the Microsoft Kinect motion controller to their laptop, and programmed an application titled SLOOW, which stands for Software Library Optimising Obligatory Waving.
They also created an application called FAAST, which means Flexible Action and Articulated Skeleton Toolkit to control World of Warcraft.
