📺✨ Gesture TV
For the #ConfigMakeathon, I wanted to build something creative, playful, and a little unexpected. I explored a simple idea:
What if an old-school TV could understand your hand gestures?
So I built Gesture TV — an interactive retro television where your hands become the remote.
Draw circles with your index finger to create a vortex
Pinch to generate ripples across the screen
Stretch and squeeze the camera feed like elastic
Trigger emoji showers
Launch emoji confetti
The most fun part was experimenting with gesture-based interactions and seeing how far I could push the experience using Figma Make while keeping it intuitive enough for anyone to instantly pick up and play.
No onboarding. No instructions. Just open it and start bending reality. ✨

Would love to know which gesture effect you'd add next 👀
