I figured that I don't mind my kids playing computer games as long as they move. The first stage for me is to find a workable approach to DOS games. In particular, I thought about adapting ski-leu to race games such as Outrun & ilks.

These could also be of interest for inspiration as well - basic idea this Youtuber is doing is to use console gamer joystick re-mapper hardware to convert joycon acceleration readings to button presses/button combos.
Can you Lose weight by playing Breath of the Wild? - Ringfit Controller Mod Explained Version
- Today we talk about the Ringfit Adventure controller mod for Zelda: Breath of the Wild. With this mod you can Exercise and play BotW at the same time.
I made a Ring Fit Adventure Mod for Mario Kart - Controller Bending
- Today on Controller Bending we mod the Ring fit controller to play Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with. With this Ring-con mod you have to run to drive. Literally. Squeezing the ring-con activates items!
I'd imagine a lot of similar mods could be done via computer vision instead of using joycon accel readings.
I think the key would be to show up to a gaming console as a PS4/XBox controller instead of just a keyboard. I think there are Python libraries to do this [1] or just stick to Steam games that just need WASD controls. This allows you to tap into already huge library of high quality games and just focus on the OpenCV movement-> joystick button remapping part.
Dance mat could be even easier to integrate as it acts just as a normal joystick. The problem, though, is that many games expect reaction times achievable with a keyboard & mouse, but leg movements are a bit slower.
The problem with the dance mat is that you can not use it in a school class as you need extra equipment. It worked well in a dojo for my judo classes, though.
If you want to run the code manually, install it in the virtual environment. Then you can simply run commands `ski-leu` or `pop-that-balloon`.
Btw., I use pop-that-balloon for basketball dribbling training, and a friend uses it for boxing. Have fun & please let me know if you use it for yet another sport :).
