Show HN: Let your body be the gamepad
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.

Semaphore: A Full-Body Keyboard
* https://github.com/mristin/pop-that-balloon-desktop/releases...
If you want to run the code manually, install it in the virtual environment. Then you can simply run commands `ski-leu` or `pop-that-balloon`.
Btw., I use pop-that-balloon for basketball dribbling training, and a friend uses it for boxing. Have fun & please let me know if you use it for yet another sport :).

Semaphore: A Full-Body Keyboard
Cool ideas!
I implemented a couple of mini-games using a dance mat as well:

Dance mat could be even easier to integrate as it acts just as a normal joystick. The problem, though, is that many games expect reaction times achievable with a keyboard & mouse, but leg movements are a bit slower.
The problem with the dance mat is that you can not use it in a school class as you need extra equipment. It worked well in a dojo for my judo classes, though.
What are some alternatives?
body-gamepad - Emulate arrow keys and two buttons with your arms and legs.
burpee-frog-desktop - Jump burpees and lead the frog to its beloved one.
Semaphore - A full-body keyboard using gestures to type through computer vision
dance-cat-to-mouse - Dance collaboratively the cat to catch the mouse.
