LiveWebTennis

The application captures video from a standard webcam and uses computer‑vision techniques to detect the motion of a user’s arm, translating that movement into control inputs for a three‑dimensional tennis simulation that runs entirely in a web browser. By interpreting the swing of the arm as a tennis stroke, the software lets players interact with the game without any external controllers or specialized hardware.

It is aimed at users who want an informal, body‑based gaming experience that can be accessed from any device with a camera and a modern browser. The focus is on casual play and experimentation rather than competitive or high‑performance gaming, making it suitable for quick demos, educational settings, or simple entertainment.

The project is currently in an experimental stage, meaning core functionality is functional but may still be refined. It demonstrates the feasibility of webcam‑based motion control for 3D sports games and serves as a foundation for further development of controller‑free browser gaming.
