If you are using body sensors (i.e. Kinect, Astra, Leap, etc.), please connect your equipment and install all Device Drivers BEFORE running the enAbleGames App. The App needs drivers to be installed in order to track your body. The holistic webcam feature does not require any drivers and uses your standard web camera, as does the low-power color-tracking feature for hand-tracking. See the Installing Device Drivers section below.
Go to the beta.enablegames.com webpage. This is our user portal.
There are two types of accounts,
NOTE: Clinic accounts come with 4 Home/Player accounts included. Extra players can be added individually by clicking Add New Players under the Care Provider’s profile page.
Fill in your information, and the Beta Key that should be supplied to you by email. If you do not have a Beta Key, please contact support@enablegames.com
You will then be taken to the enAbleGames Player or Care Provider Portal.
Unless you are using your webcam, every motion sensor you want to use needs a device driver. Download and install the appropriate sensor drivers. See www.enablegames.com/support for latest driver information, or contact support@enablegames.com for help.

LeapServiceCore Services folder (default C:\Program Files (x86)\Leap Motion\Core Services)LeapServiceYou are now ready to install the enAbleGames App. The enAbleGames App is the main application, and has many roles:
The App must be running for the games to work, since the app handles logging in and passing the body motion data to the games. This includes VR games running on a phone.
You will be provided a link to download the beta version of the enAbleGames installer via email. To request the enAbleGames installer, send an email to support@enablegames.com.
This is because It is not a signed Windows app, but that is ok. Click on the More Info text and a Run anyway button will appear.
Click Run anyway and follow the setup instructions as described below.
First, you will see a message about choosing your installation directory. By default, enAbleGames is installed under your user Documents directory. If you want to install it to your Program Files directory, the installer needs to be run with Administrator access. To do this, right-click on the installer, and select “Run as administrator” and create/select the C:/Program Files/enAbleGames folder. Otherwise, please install under one of your user directories, such as Documents, your Desktop, or the AppLocal folder (i.e. C:/users/myname/AppLocal)
Make sure Create a desktop shortcut is checked.
After installing the Launcher, log in using your enAbleGames account. It may take a few minutes to check for updates. When the Launcher asks if you would like to download updates, select “yes”. The Launcher will open the Patcher application in a new window.
If you have trouble logging in, check that your computer’s firewall settings and make sure to allow enAbleGames to connect online in the Inbound Rules section. Each enablegames app should have a green checkmark next to it, as shown below.
After the Patcher is finished, the Launcher will re-open. Log in again when you see the login screen, and you will see the Library page.
From the left side of the screen, select the game you would like to download. Click the “Update Game” button in the top-left corner of the screen. It will launch the Patcher in another window.
When the Patcher finishes installing your game, refresh the Launcher and press the Play button in the top-left corner to play your game.
Instructions for the games can be found on our Manuals page.
Controlling Games with Body Tracking
There are 4 types of controls in the enAbleGames Launcher; Kinect/Astra, Webcam Tracking, the enableServer app, and Color Tracking.
This method of control offers some of the most accurate body controls, though it requires additional hardware to use.
To use a Kinect or Astra device, you will need to install the appropriate drivers to your computer. See the Installing Device Drivers section above for further information.
To start using Kinect/Astra, press the Start Kinect/Astra button. The body tracking can be adjusted with the 3 buttons above.
This method of control can be used on any piece of hardware with a camera, though it also requires a GPU card. It may slow performance depending on the capabilities of user’s device.
Webcam Tracking can be activated by pressing the “Start Webcam Tracking” button on the Body Tracking page of the enAbleGames Launcher. Make sure your webcam is active before using this mode.
By checking the “Only Move Upper Body” option, you can reduce latency in body tracking, though you will not be able to use your legs.
If webcam tracking does not work initially, try restarting the Launcher.
This method requires a phone or tablet in addition to your computer, but it may reduce latency in games since the body pose processing is not being handled by your computer.
To set up the enableServer App, email support@enablegames.com with your Apple ID and request the enableServer App.
If you have the enableServer app installed on a secondary device, you can control the Launcher remotely. You will need to connect your secondary device to the same wifi as the device running the Launcher.
Connect to the Launcher from the app
Using the button on the bottom left of enableServer, add the device and input the IP Address from the Launcher, which can be found on the right side of the Body Tracking tab. You can also manually scan the QR code from the Launcher in the app.
The enableServer app can also communicate directly with games if the Launcher is not running. The connection QR code or IP address can be found through a game’s pause menu.
This method is the least computationally intensive of any control mode, though it is highly limited in the types of motions the player can make. It is not able to calculate accurate elbow motions or lower-body motions since it only calculates based on hand positions.
Color Tracking can be started with the Start Color Tracking button in the Body Tracking menu. Make sure your webcam is active before using this mode. The body will track two colors from your webcam, which you choose by clicking the left and right mouse buttons on the screen.
In your game, select “Settings” to choose the control mode for your session. You can also adjust other settings for the games, such as duration of play session, or the initial difficulty of the level.
Once the game has started, you can view the game’s reading on your body data by clicking the human figure in the bottom corner.
