Games you can play with Plaik
Because Plaik outputs standard mouse, keyboard and gamepad inputs, it works with almost any PC game and console game. These are the genres where body control shines — and the mapping profiles we're shipping at launch.
FPS & shooters
Hand movement drives the mouse; a clench or tap-gesture fires. Turn by turning, aim by pointing.
Racing
Lean into corners like a real steering wheel. Lean forward to accelerate, back to brake.
Sports & boxing
Throw real punches, swing a real tennis racket, kick a real ball. The most natural mapping of all.
Rhythm & dance
Full-body choreography replaces button combos — the Kinect dance-game genre, reborn on PC.
Fitness & exergaming
Jumps, squats and dodges as game inputs. A Ring Fit–style workout without the ring — or the Switch.
Party & indie games
Any couch co-op or indie title that accepts a gamepad. Great for family game nights.
How "any game" actually works
Plaik doesn't need a special version of a game. It sits between your body and the game as a virtual controller:
1 · Camera sees the movement
AI pose estimation reads your joints at high frequency, on-device.
2 · Profile translates it
A control profile maps gestures to inputs — punch → left click, lean → joystick axis, jump → space bar.
3 · Game receives standard input
The game sees a normal mouse/keyboard/gamepad. It can't tell the difference — because to the game, there isn't one.
