Questions
Before you start
How should I start pose matching webcam games?
Start with one short, voluntary round. pose overlay, one cue at a time, and reset option. Explain the cue, check the camera view, and let people choose player, caller, coach, scorekeeper, observer, or no-camera participation.
What should I prepare for a camera-facing play area?
For a camera-facing play area, mark the camera footprint, check light and framing, and keep a lower-movement or quieter alternative nearby. The goal is a workable activity, not a promised health or performance result.
Can someone participate without using a camera?
Yes. Keep camera use optional and offer a meaningful observer, caller, coach, scorekeeper, or discussion role. People can switch roles or stop whenever the room, privacy preference, or energy level changes.
