Can I build my own motion games with Google AI Studio ?

Yep—prompt like "Dino jumps on my real leaps," pick MediaPipe Pose, and remix in minutes. Test via webcam instantly.

Is MediaPipe free for developers?

Fully open-source, cross-platform. Runs locally, no API keys needed beyond AI Studio for Gemini prompts.
