Semaphore

Thank you! For those who missed that one: https://github.com/everythingishacked/Semaphore To me, the main motivation beyond "because I can" is the accessibility of these projects: you just need some Python code and any webcam. I'd love to play around more with VR, but the owners of the leading systems aren't exactly known for their openness to external APIs... Maybe Google Cardboard is worth a revisit :)

This reminded me of the full body keyboard controller someone else shared a few weeks back... My ideas for body games are growing https://github.com/everythingishacked/Semaphore

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.
