About the role
Mobile input is stale tap and swipe have been the default for 15 years. This role is to build a new category of mobile games controlled by real-time hand movement through the phone camera, starting with a gesture-driven game that's immediately fun and obviously physical.
What they're looking for
- Own the prototype across game loop, recognition pipeline, UX feedback, and on-device performance
- Make smart tradeoffs between model quality, latency, battery, and actual game feel
- Test the experience quickly with real players and learn where delight or frustration shows up
- Build the first product wedge while keeping an eye on what could become platform IP
- Work with AI Fund's build team on gameplay scope, technical feasibility, and expansion paths
More about this role
Mobile input is stale tap and swipe have been the default for 15 years. This role is to build a new category of mobile games controlled by real-time hand movement through the phone camera, starting with a gesture-driven game that's immediately fun and obviously physical.
- A playable game where gesture interaction is the core mechanic, not a novelty input mode pasted on top.
- A low-latency recognition loop that maps hand movement into responsive gameplay.
- Calibration, feedback, and fail-state handling so the game remains usable in messy real-world environments.
- A technical base that could expand into a reusable gesture-recognition platform over time.
- Own the prototype across game loop, recognition pipeline, UX feedback, and on-device performance.
- Make smart tradeoffs between model quality, latency, battery, and actual game feel.
- Test the experience quickly with real players and learn where delight or frustration shows up.
- Build the first product wedge while keeping an eye on what could become platform IP.
- Work with AI Fund's build team on gameplay scope, technical feasibility, and expansion paths.
- Experience in computer vision, on-device ML, pose or gesture...
