SwayCam: A Camera-Controlled Arcade

Field notes

SwayCam uses camera-based movement rather than touch input: players set a device on a stable surface, allow access, and calibrate a comfortable range before playing. The catalog contains 13 illustrated games, sorted by control pattern, including four-direction titles alongside mostly one-axis games. When recording is enabled, the site can save or discard a camera-and-game replay locally; the page states that the camera stays on the player’s device.
