How it works

Reading your hand

A gesture model finds 21 points on your hand and recognises a closed fist, an open palm and a victory sign — rock, paper and scissors.

Fair play

The computer picks its move at random only after your move is read, from what the camera saw in the half-second after “Shoot!”.

Private

Everything happens on your device. No video is recorded or sent anywhere.
