The MIT Media Lab has, for a recent project, has created an AFK cookset that
connects to an avatar and can replish the character based upon what is cooked in
the AFK cookset. The inside the "WoW Pod" is a toilet, easy-to-reach water, and
the pre-packaged food that needs to be cooked to affect the characters behavior.
When the player selects food the character in game will actually monitor it and
give the player updates “Vorcon’s meal is about to be done!”, for example. When
the player begins to eat the character goes in AFK Mode! After the player's done
eating the in-game character takes on different attributes based upon what the
player ate.
The original article can be found on the
WoW Pod page at the
MIT Website, but here's a look at a few
of the pictures from the article:
