Who it’s for

A new way
to join the game.

Start with a movement that makes the idea memorable. Then turn it into a clear game action.

Under consideration

We are interested in the needs of teams working with lighter, open-source game stacks.

SDK access, supported platforms, and features may vary by partner build. Contact the team for the current package and documentation.

Unity workflow

From blank scene
to first interaction.

Start with a sample, connect a gesture, and test how it feels on screen.

Start a sample

Get the current Unity package and explore a tracking sample with the team.

Connect an action

Map a player’s movement to an action in your game.

Try a sample scene

Tune calibration and the movement response in a playable prototype.

Pseudocode · movement to gameplay

when a gesture arrives:
    find the player

    if gesture is "Jump":
        make their character jump

    if gesture is "ArmRaise":
        raise their shield

Illustrative logic. Partner documentation provides the integration API.

Motion input

From raw data
to gameplay events.

Use high-level gestures for fast prototyping, or work closer to pose and player data when the game needs more control.

Full-body tracking

Use pose landmarks and skeleton data to turn movement into gameplay.

Hand gestures

Work with swipes and hand poses for direct, readable interactions.

Head gestures

Explore nod, shake, and directional look input for menus and light actions.

Body movements

Recognize jumps, arm raises, and side-to-side movement for active play.

Multiplayer input

Route tracking and gesture events by player for games designed to share the room.

Cursor & segmentation

Explore hand-driven cursor control and player silhouette effects where the project calls for them.

A possible release path

From prototype
to PlayDock Arcade.

A game that feels good in a Unity scene still needs testing in the room. We can plan each step with you if the project is a fit.

Request access
