In today's digital age, prolonged screen time often leads to discomfort and health issues, particularly related to neck strain and posture problems. Moreover, traditional hand-based game controls can pose challenges for individuals with limited hand mobility. To address these concerns, I developed "Shake Head", a mobile game that introduces an innovative control scheme using head movements, aiming to promote both accessibility and physical wellness.
Innovative Control Mechanism
"Shake Head" utilizes the device's front camera and integrates Google's Mediapipe AI technology to track real-time facial and neck movements. Players can control in-game actions through natural head gestures such as nodding and shaking, offering an alternative to conventional touch or tilt controls. This design not only provides a unique gaming experience but also encourages players to engage their neck muscles, potentially alleviating discomfort associated with prolonged screen use.
Health and Accessibility Benefits
By incorporating head movements as the primary input method, "Shake Head" offers several benefits:
Accessibility: The game provides an inclusive gaming experience for individuals with limited hand mobility, enabling them to enjoy interactive entertainment without relying on traditional hand-based controls.
Physical Wellness: Encouraging deliberate head movements during gameplay may help reduce neck stiffness and promote better posture, addressing common issues associated with extended screen time.
Collaboration with Accessibility Organizations
To ensure "Shake Head" effectively meets the needs of diverse players, I have reached out to organizations dedicated to enhancing gaming accessibility, such as AbleGamers Charity and SpecialEffect. These collaborations aim to gather valuable feedback and insights, allowing for continuous improvement of the game's design and functionality to better serve the community.
