Sky launches free gesture-controlled webcam games

21 July 2009 17:43 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott

Sky Games has launched an exclusive collection of online games with gesture-recognition controls for PC users with webcams, powered by OmniMotion.

Sky says the free webcam games - which range from sports to puzzles - "put players in the middle of the action, where they effectively become the 'joystick' using their body's movement to control what happens on-screen".

Included in the 10 games is a rugby simulation that requires ducking and diving to avoid tackles and an air guitar game which requires steady strumming, while matching the notes up and down the guitar's neck, to achieve "guitar awesomeness".

The games are free for anyone to play at www.sky.com/webcamgames.
