You've basically re-created the Kinect with a regular RGB webcam, right? It's a cool project, but if it's limited to emulating a controller (instead of, say, being able to control individual limb and weapon directions like with VR or Wiimote controllers), what do you think the target audience will be?
It seems like between the Kinect itself, Intel RealSense, the PlayStation Camera and other knockoffs, this has been tried many times without much market uptake. Maybe gamers are just lazy and prefer using only our thumbs instead of whole bodies, lol.
It might be fun for fitness games, though. Or any chance it could emulate VR controllers instead to let people without headsets play VR games with just their bodies?
There's a great parody video when the Nintendo Wii first came out where it showed two very different gamers playing Wii Tennis. Player one was completely throwing their entire body into it Kramer style, and the second player was sitting on the couch with a faintly bored expression on their face barely twitching their wrist to activate the motion controls.
