Do I need to wear anything to use Plaik?

No. Plaik is a camera-based AI motion controller. You play with your bare body — no trackers, no gloves, no headset.

Does Plaik work with the games I already own?

Yes. Plaik maps your movements to standard mouse, keyboard and gamepad inputs, so it works with existing PC games without special versions.

Place the camera

Put Plaik on your desk or TV stand and plug it into your PC via USB-C. One cable. That's the whole setup.

Pick your mapping

Choose a control profile — or build your own. Map a punch to a button press, a lean to joystick tilt, a wave to mouse movement.

Start moving

Launch any game and play with your body. Every kick, swing and jump becomes a real in-game action.
