This project uses:
- MediaPipe for accurate hand landmark detection
- OpenCV for webcam access and visual interface
- PyAutoGUI to control mouse and keyboard actions
The application detects key points on your hand in real-time and translates specific gestures into computer inputs, allowing for touchless interaction with web content.
Adjust these variables in gesture_control.py to customize the experience:
scroll_amount: Change scroll speed/distancecooldown: Adjust response sensitivity- Scroll zone thresholds (currently at 30% and 70% of frame height)
