Description

This paper presents a Unity game where hand gestures, detected via webcam and proccesed by Python, control the main character. Designed for players with motor difficulties, it eliminates the need for complex keyboard inputs, enhancing accessibility. By simplifying gameplay mechanics and making the characher move by only pointing like to the camera and letting the AI to do the rest, it offers an inclusive gaming experience without requiring game modifications. This innovative design opens up gaming experiences to a broader audience, particularly those with motor impairments, by eliminating barriers to gameplay.
