In Your Shape Featuring Jenny McCarthy, Ubisoft introduced a "controller-free" fitness experience years before Kinect made it mainstream. Released in 2009, the game was bundled with a proprietary USB motion-tracking camera that attaches to the top of your TV or Wii sensor bar. The game begins by using this camera to perform a "full body shape analysis," scanning your silhouette and projecting your image directly onto the screen so you can check your form alongside your virtual "workout buddy," Jenny McCarthy. The gameplay focus is heavily on aerobics and bodyweight exercises, offering nearly 500 unique moves across categories like Yoga, Cardio, and Strength Training. Because the camera tracks your limbs in real-time, the game provides immediate verbal feedback—McCarthy will cheer you on or tell you to "get moving" if you fall behind the rhythm. While it’s designed to be used hands-free, you can tell the software if you have your own weights, balance balls, or step benches at home, and it will incorporate them into your personalized daily routine.
