BodyBird turns real push-ups into game controls. Place your iPhone on the floor, use the front camera, and your body movement controls the character in real time — no wearables or extra hardware. Every rep also contributes to a worldwide push-up counter. Can a mobile game make exercise feel more like play than a workout?
