Playing Atari with your hands as motion controls
Posted: 23 Apr 2022 18:28
Hi,
I would like to share with you a cool Atari project.
You can play the Atari games using your hands as motion controls. No joystick needed.
Yes , yes : your hands instead of a joystick
I captured and converted the hand poses to electric signals “running” through the Atari ports, so your hands control the game. Pretty amazing.
This project is based on a computer vision and Python coding, running on a Raspberry PI device with a camera.
It is a DIY project .
Here are links for the components:
