New Show Hacker News story: Show HN: Let your body be the gamepad
Show HN: Let your body be the gamepad

Hi HN, I made a keyboard emulator that tracks your body pose and emits the key presses accordingly. My main motivation was to make my kids move more on rainy days. I already made a couple of mini-games using the body pose [1-3], and those were definitely fun to make and play! However, once the kids learned the tricks, they got bored. I could only produce that much content myself, and soon realized that I lack time for churning out games. Finally, I decided to tap into an endless pool of PC games, preferrably simple and less addictive ones like the Gameboy and DOS games. This project has been also inspired by [4], which has been featured on HN recently. [1]: https://ift.tt/dZO7MlF [2]: https://ift.tt/jflOm75 [3]: https://ift.tt/GJZBUue [4]: https://ift.tt/lsxyuj0
