Our project is a gesture-based interactive game set inside a jungle-themed tunnel. The concept was partly inspired by carnival-style games where players complete small tasks through simple physical actions, but we changed the format by using hand tracking instead of physical controls. Players use a pinch gesture, measured by the distance between the thumb and index finger, to lift and lower objects inside the tunnel. This distance is mapped to a servo motor that rotates from 0 to 180 degrees, creating a responsive up and down motion. The game includes three interactions. These involve lowering a coconut for a thirsty monkey, lowering a Nepenthes plant to save a dragonfly, and lowering branches so the river can flow again.
