Windmill
A camera game for little kids: spin your arms like a windmill, and the windmill on screen spins with you.
status: Playable in the browser. Needs a camera.
Windmill watches through the camera with MediaPipe pose detection, which runs entirely in your browser. The camera picture never leaves your device, and nothing is recorded.
Highlights
- Tracks shoulders and wrists and turns the circling of your arms into the windmill's speed and direction.
- Tuned for small children: it reacts quickly to slow, small arm circles and winds down gently, so a little effort keeps it spinning.
- Big type and controls for playing in front of a TV, plus a camera view that shows what the game sees.
- A whooshing sound, made with the Web Audio API, that rises with the speed.
- MediaPipe's runtime and pose model load from their CDNs, pinned to exact versions.
