Control your PC with hand gestures

• Built with OpenCV and Mediapipe on Python 3.9
• Lets you control brightness, volume and active window using simple hand gestures

Setup

• Run pip install -r requirements.txt in project directory
• Run py main.py to start the program

Usage

• The program detects only one hand at a time
• With your right hand, your index finger and thumb control volume and brightness. If they form a line with a horizontal angle greater than 45°, it controls brightness, otherwise, it controls volume. Bring both fingers closer or bring them apart to change these values
• With your left hand, swipe it to change active screens. There's a delay of about a second (though may vary according to your camera FPS)

Bugs

• The volume level shown on screen is not really accurate. This is due to using the pycaw library, which gives a range of volume values on the negatives, not corresponding with [0-100] and being calculated using numpy's interp function on these non-ideal ranges
• Switching active windows may take a while given that pygetwindow often detects more windows than those visible to the user
• This is designed to be used while showing your palms to the camera at a relatively normal inclination, so expect undesired results when violating any of these rules
• Only tested on Windows 10!
