CVify

Computer vision games in the browser. Play with your face—no controllers, no backend. All camera and face processing runs locally via MediaPipe.

Games

SnakeCV

New version of the classic snake game, but instead with head direction inputs. The goal is to grow longer by eating apples, avoiding walls and your own body.

Slither

Inspired heavily by Slither.io. The goal is to grow by eating pellets, avoiding other snakes. The last snake standing wins. Open your mouth to activate a speed boost. Currently buggy because of toroidal map rendering... (Multiplayer coming soon??)

Tech stack

• React + Vite — Frontend and build.
• MediaPipe Tasks Vision — Face Landmarker runs in the browser (WebAssembly) for facial landmarks (e.g. nose, eyes, mouth)
• No backend — TODO (multiplayer??? maybe)

Prerequisites

• A modern browser with camera access (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge).

Running Locally:

cd frontend
npm install
npm run dev

Open the URL in the terminal (usually http://localhost:5173). From the landing page, play a game (more coming soon??).

Optional env for custom MediaPipe assets (e.g. self-hosted):

• VITE_MEDIAPIPE_WASM_URL — WASM base URL
• VITE_FACE_LANDMARKER_MODEL_URL — Face Landmarker model URL

Privacy

Video and face landmarks are processed only in your browser by MediaPipe. Nothing is recorded or sent to any server (trust me).

Accessibility

Both games are playable with the keyboard; head tracking is optional. If the camera is unavailable or the Face toggle is off, you can still play SnakeCV with arrows/WASD (though less fun).
