What is ARCVDE?

ARCVDE is a playful pun on "ARCADE" - because this project hosts a collection of arcade-style games powered by CV (Computer Vision)!

▶

Platform

A collection of classic arcade game spinoffs with a computer vision twist.

■

Control

Powered by real-time computer vision using OpenCV and MediaPipe for innovative gesture and motion-based controls.

●

Interaction

Play using hand gestures like finger guns or facial movements like blinking - no controllers needed!
