Ever need a quiet and comfortable place to sit and eat while playing WOW and let everyone else know about it? If you think World of Warcraft is not as immersive as you like, you may want to consider checking out the WOW Pod. A self contained room that houses food, spices and other ingredients that help you feed yourself while doing your daily quests.

Here’s the kicker:
When hungry, the gamer selects a food item (‘Crunchy Spider Surprise’, ‘Beer Basted Ribs’, etc.) and a seasoning pack. By scanning in the food items, the video game physically adjusts a hot plate to cook the item for the correct amount of time. The virtual character then jubilantly announces the status of the meal to both the gamer and the other individuals playing online: “Vorcon’s meal is about to be done!” “Better eat the ribs while they’re hot!” etc.

The only question remains, “Where are the bathrooms?”
