A Game Employing ARKit to Move Tiles Using Head Movement

The screen clears, and in its place appears a tiled puzzle which is built with one tile missing and the others mixed up You have a few seconds to look at the puzzle before the cursor appears. This specialized cursor will start at the middle of the screen and by tilting your head you can make it move.

Object of the Game

The goal is to move all the tiles to their correct location to form the original picture. This is done by imagining you are "pointing your nose" at the tile you want to move to the open/empty space. Do this repeatedly until the tiles have all returned to their original locations

End of the Game

Confetti will fall when the puzzle is complete. Tap on the 🎡 (Carousel Emoji) to Select a New Game

Privacy Policy

No information is shared in any way to any third party.

During play, the selfie cameras take a video of the user. The video stream is analyzed to gauge the rotation of the user’s head while playing. This data is used to place a cursor at the spot on the screen it thinks is being looked at and a cursor is drawn using SceneKit and Sprites. The data is not saved to disk (or anywhere else) — it is immediately discarded. Only documented API calls to SceneKit and ARKit are used. The video stream is analyzed live and not stored to disk. The data is never stored in any form and cannot be shared.
