A real-time hand gesture recognition system using MediaPipe and OpenCV that lets you control keyboard inputs based on hand gestures.
- Detects left and right hands in real-time.
- Recognizes thumbs up/down and finger positions.
- Controls keyboard keys:
- Right hand open (all fingers up) → Press
'right'
- Left hand closed (all fingers down) → Press
'left'
- Right hand open (all fingers up) → Press
- Supports live video feed from webcam.
- Python 3
- OpenCV (Video capture and display)
- MediaPipe (Hand detection and tracking)
- Keyboard (Simulate key presses)
- Works best in good lighting conditions.
- Ensure the webcam is properly connected.
- This script simulates keyboard presses.
- avoid running alongside critical apps
