Tarot Picker

Tarot Pincher uses your webcam to detect your hand position to determine where on the screen your hand is, pinched or not! In its initial stage, the flipped tarot cards float around, bouncing when they hit the walls. When you put your hand up, the tarot cards flip over, showing the Major Arcana, and will tremble in anticipation of getting picked! You pick a random tarot card when you pinch your finger, and the more you pinch, the more the background image will be revealed! Also, each time you pinch, one tarot card floating around will disappear, and when all are gone, the cycle resets.

“Pick your fate with Tarot Pincher! You can pick your destiny out of the 22 Major Arcana cards; the more you pinch, the clearer your fortune will be.”
