Nex Playground is a camera-based game console that turns body movements into controls for family games and activities.

The living room becomes the controller

Nex Playground uses a camera and motion tracking to translate players' movements into actions on screen. Families can play sports, rhythm, fitness and party games without holding conventional game controllers.

Its Play Pass subscription opens a catalogue of more than 60 games, including activities built around Bluey, Sesame Street and other entertainment properties. The business combines the physical console with a continuing library of playable content.
