the idea01
most dance games hand you a controller and ask you to hit buttons in time. this one takes the controller away. the camera is the input, your body is the cursor, and the targets are gummy bears because a game that makes you flail should at least look sweet.
play itwebcam needed
allow the camera, stand back until your shoulders are in frame, then match the bears. open full size ↗
how it works·
- detectml5 posenet finds 17 body points from the webcam feed, every frame.
- targeta gummy bear appears at a position and a body part is named.
- matchwhen that body point lands inside the bear for long enough, it counts.
