Hand motion controlled game of bricks
Game of bricks is a classic game where you have to move a bar on bottom of screen to bounce ball which breaks bricks on top.

After this complex part is done there follow simple control commands like moving hands to sides moves the bar on screen. Hand going up and down speeds and slows bouncing ball....
