Google glass meets world of Warcraft

I'm not much of a gamer, mostly because I dislike how the time spent playing a MMO or FPS usually done in the sitting position. If there could be a way to create a MMO that also encouraged exercise in an immersive environment I could be hooked. I imagine a MMO on the scale of World of Warcraft or several times bigger that could be stretched over reality through google glass assisted augmentation.

My experience with MMO's is rather limited, I spent a summer playing WOW and enjoyed it greatly. The reason I stopped was because of how greatly it limited me to do other things. It's hard to run around outside and play with your dog while playing a game like wow.

From what I'm seeing in the Beta testing of google glass it looks like there is potential to bring the convalescence of those ideas to fruition. How cool would that be!
