Developers - Mobile Hand tracking is here! Become a superhero!

Have you ever wanted to control objects telepathically with your own hands? Do you want to master the elements and throw fireballs to your enemies at will? Are you strong enough to become a Jedi and master the Force, or will you join the Avengers and use Iron Man’s hand blasters? 

 We want you to use your creativity and show us how. Join our Game Jam and develop a fun game using ManoMotion’s Hand Tracking SDK PRO and use your hands as a new kind of controller. With the PRO Features, you will able to track each of the 21 joints of the hand in 3D, using only your smartphone RGB camera (Android & iOS).
