The build

Step 01

Load pose model

Run a pose detector on the webcam.

Step 02

Read joints

Get positions of hands, head, etc.

Step 03

Map to controls

Link a raised hand to a game action.

Step 04

Play

Move your body to play.

Working Principle

The model estimates the position of your body's key joints each frame; the game reads those positions as controls.

The science behind it

A closer look

Pose estimation predicts joint coordinates from images, enabling motion-controlled games without special hardware.
