Creating and controlling a Web based video game with Computer Vision

AI in video games is not new. Controlling your games with a control is old fashioned!

In this session we will dissect a Web browser based game created using JavaScript and HTML5, understand its basic pieces and modify it to incorporate a custom trained computer vision model to use our hand gestures as control instead of the traditional keyboard and mouse.
