Playing Atari with your hands as motion controls

[Eran Feit2]

 

 

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:
