Most games rely on buttons, keyboards, or controllers, but what happens when players use their entire body to play? This talk explores the world of sensory-based games, from gesture-controlled games to interactive installations built for marketing events and exhibitions. Drawing from hands-on projects with Kinect, LeapMotion, motion sensors, and Mediapipe, Diandra shares lessons learned from designing games that turn physical movement into play. Through reflections on accessibility, human behavior, and the messy realities of hardware, the talk reveals how embodied play and non-traditional interfaces are quietly shaping the future of game interaction.
