Virtual joystick with computer vision (OpenCV)

Overview

This open-source project uses computer vision to simulate a joystick by tracking hand and finger movements, allowing users to play racing games.

Getting Started

1. Clone the project:

git clone https://github.com/ehsanrs2/Virtual-joystick-with-computer-vision.git

2. Install the required Python libraries:

pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Navigate to the Virtual_joystick_with_computer_vision directory and run the following command:

python Hand_Tracking.py

Controls

• Right thumb: Acts as the 9 key, with a range of 0 to 255 (by opening and closing).
• Left thumb: Acts as the 6 key.
• Rotating hands: Moves axis 1 (key number 3 in the image) left and right, with a range of -32767 to 32767.

The variable threshold = 50 in line 94 of Hand_Tracking.py limits the rotation to ±50 degrees for the maximum point (±32767). You can adjust this value if desired.
