Move your head to swing the aim line, blink both eyes to throw. Collect stars and power-ups. It uses on-device AI tracking, so Nose Hoop turns any webcam or phone camera into a motion controller – a fun way to move, laugh and show friends what the browser can do.
Open Nose Hoop, allow camera access and hold still for a second while your face is detected. Video is processed on your device and never uploaded.
