Playing Minecraft with Body Gestures! Hands-Free Interactive Control Dem...

GesturePlay Ryse | Control Games with Body Movements + Universal Gesture Controller!

In this video, I demo GesturePlay Ryse — a body gesture control system that lets me play the game Ryse: Son of Rome using just my movements. The camera sees my gestures, and with OpenCV + MediaPipe, they’re translated into keystrokes that control the game. What's really exciting is that I’ve now evolved this project into a universal gesture controller! All key bindings are stored in a CSV file, which means the Python code can be turned into an executable — and all you need to do is update the CSV to play different games. No code changes necessary. This project actually started with Ryse — it was the first game I tried to control with gestures. Now, I’ve come full circle with a more powerful, flexible version of the system! #GesturePlay #opencvpython #opencv  #mediapipe  #GestureController #gamingtech  #pythongaming   #indiedev   💬 Drop your game suggestions in the comments — what should I try to play next with GesturePlay?

About — Features of Histolines

The main page used to list all the historical events in order as they were added to histolines. Each event includes who as in the name, what happened, and when. Sometimes we also include with whom and where but that’s optional.

To add a new event press the “New Event” button. Type in the Name, what happened, with who, when, and where. The website will give you suggestions on names and event types. To keep histolines clean and organized we suggest you use names and events that are already in histolines. You can also click on advanced inputs and add details like a reference website link to a picture genre and sign your work. Then just click add event. Assuming all is well your post will expand the knowledge base of histolines.

Since every event has been inputted by anyone who cared to write it we have to let the reader identify and vote on the event's significance and accuracy which is a part of every event. Also, we have the detail button which will show you more information bout the event. If you press the detail button you can see the same event on the side of the whole timeline with the addition of the list of references that the users have inputted about this event, the list of collections that this event belongs to. You can read or add comments to this event also while the event is fresh you can add elements to it after pressing the refine button.

The characters tab will help you look up a timeline of events of any character in history just start typing in his name and just click on one of the suggestions. Also if you see the character in some other timeline you can click on the name and the site will direct you to their timeline. When you are on on a particular character's timeline on the left hand side we have a list of all the characters that have lived in the same time period. Just click on their name and histolines will combine their timelines so you can see how their lives have interacted.

The cities in the history tab are filters by location included in an event. Just click on it and a map will appear to show you where that event has occurred.

The collection will allow us to group multiple events into a grand collection like World War Two. But that feature still needs some work.

Relevance will help you sort through the significance and accuracy that people over time have voted. And hopefully, filter out the unnecessary nonsense.

The database behind this site allows us to compile and view history in a brand-new way. And hopefully, see a lot moreof what has been written between the lines.

What If Historical Figures Had Instagram?

Exploring John F. Kennedy’s Life Through a Social Media Lens

Imagine scrolling through your Instagram feed and seeing a young John F. Kennedy sailing off the coast of Cape Cod, a black-and-white snapshot of his wedding to Jacqueline, or a behind-the-scenes photo from the Cuban Missile Crisis with the caption: “Tense day in the Oval Office. Hoping for a peaceful resolution. #ColdWar #Leadership.”

What if history’s most iconic figures had access to Instagram? What moments would they share? How would their timelines tell the story of their lives?

At Histolines.com, we’ve taken a step toward answering that question — not with hypothetical captions, but by organizing historical figures’ lives into visual, timeline-driven pages that feel like scrolling through their personal Instagram feeds.

John F. Kennedy’s Instagram-Worthy Life

John F. Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, lived a life that was made for social media. From his days as a charismatic young senator to the historic moments of his presidency, his story is told through some of the most famous photographs in history.

Here’s a glimpse of what JFK’s Instagram might have looked like:

📸 1944: A black-and-white photo of a young naval officer standing proudly on a patrol boat. “Survived PT-109. Never give up. #WWII #NavyLife”

💍 1953: Kennedy Wedding day glamour with Jackie Kennedy. “The beginning of forever. #JackAndJackie #AmericanRoyalty”

🗳️ 1960: A campaign rally, crowds cheering, JFK shaking hands. “Hope, progress, and a new generation of leadership. Let’s win this! #KennedyForPresident #NewFrontier”

🚀 1962: A shot of JFK at Rice University, delivering his famous speech: “We choose to go to the Moon! 🌙 #SpaceRace #BoldDreams”

🇺🇸 1963: A heartwarming photo of JFK with his children playing in the Oval Office. “At the end of the day, family is everything. #DadLife #JFKJr”
