The Eye of the Beholder is an RPG game using a DIY controller that emphasizes using hand gestures to involve the player in interactive dialogue and engaging combat.

Using computer vision, this game will track where you move AR Markers. Attach the marker to your hand to cast spells and swing swords. Lead a party of three renaissance fighters to take back the Iron Region, without the need to use your mouse and keyboard.
