Playing Atari with your hands as motion controls

Hi,
I would like to share with you a cool Atari project.
You can play the Atari games using your hands as motion controls. No joystick needed.
Yes , yes : your hands instead of a joystick
I captured and converted the hand poses to electric signals “running” through the Atari ports, so your hands control the game. Pretty amazing.
This project is based on a computer vision and Python coding, running on a Raspberry PI device with a camera.
It is a DIY project .
Here are links for the components:

Raspberry Pi 4 : https://amzn.to/38grxde
I am using one of these desktop cameras in my projects: Logitech C270 , Simple and basic camera : https://amzn.to/37CAPjO or
Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 , Which is a very good camera : https://amzn.to/3rM1Lof
DB9 connector : https://amzn.to/3OwVgiT
7 Inch HDMI TFT screen for the PI : https://amzn.to/3L67mxg
