Being at home you can have fun playing on the computer by moving your hands in the air as if you were playing with the Wii but without gadgets in your hand. Hands-free games are those that use the webcam of the monitor or the camera connected to the computer . Thanks to a movement detection system, webcam games, although very simple, are very fun to play for both children and adults.
These games are playable only at home and not in the workplace or in the office because they have the side effect of making players who move in front of the screen seem crazy.
In this article we therefore see the best free online games to play with a webcam .
The websites that offer online games with the webcam are many, but those that offer fun and cute games that are not just nonsense, are very few. In any case, the webcam must be connected to the computer or the monitor must work.
All online games that use the webcam are flash and require permission to use the computer's webcam and broadcast the footage online. The shots are never visible or recorded from the outside.
If you don't have Flash installed on your computer or are unsure, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash Player.
1) The best site for playing webcam is Webcam Mania Game .
Before playing, make sure you have no furniture around and calibrate by moving away from the frame.
You can choose the game by scrolling the list above using your hands and pressing the buttons so that the hand visible on the screen "touches" the menus. Note that the mouse does not work in Webcam Mania. To choose the games you have to browse the list with your hand and then press ok keeping your hand steady on the button at the bottom left.
The games are really fun, all full screen and free :
- Pong is played in two and moves the hand like a ping pong racket.
- Riverrun is a race with the boat to move avoiding the red points and taking the green dots.
- Space Taxi is a precision game where you can drive a spacecraft from one platform to another.
- Bubbles where bubbles of the same color burst.

To play it is better to get a little away from the screen, at least one and a half meters so as not to occupy the whole space.
Since Webcam Mania is a SWF flash file, you can also download it to your PC (see how to download flash games) and play it without being connected to the internet (so if the site goes offline you can keep it).
In some of the next games you have to calibrate the webcam by setting the brightness of the room.
By moving the cursor on the bar and moving, the calibration is right in the memento where you see the red around your figure.
2) BazooCam is one of those sites where you can video chat with random people. In addition to chatroulette style video chat, you can also play online with the webcam by challenging other people. In the online games of BazooCam they are also cute, see each other on the screen and play against other people. At the moment there are only two: PowerMath with math calculations and Color Buzzer, a memory game. Sometimes the system is slow to find the challenger to play against.
3) PlayDoJam is a basketball game where you have to throw the ball into the basket with your hands. It can also be played in multiplayer.
4) On the Newsground site there are 5 very simple webcam games: Ninja, Basic Training, Clean the window, hit the target.
5) Flight On Sahara is a game where you have to drive a plane without crashing it, moving it with your hands.
Finally, if you like games via webcam, I remember the famous CamSpace program that transforms the PC into a Wii to play videogames with your hands .
