Hi everyone,

I am trying to build a motion based game that uses a web cam to detect hand movements and trigger game events.

For example, playing a ball game using the web cam whereby the player will just do the actions like throwing the ball and the web cam will take in the movement, and process accordingly.

Currently I am thinking of dividing each frames taken by the web cam into grids, so as to detect the hand movements. However, I have difficulty finding relevant examples and source codes to enable me to do this.

Any relevant suggestions/pointers/tutorials will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Have you done searches for things like "face recognition" or "image recognition" algorithms?

I've found something similar to what is relatively close to what I'll be doing, however does anyone has any tutorial in making this?

You will need a webcam for this.
