Hand Gesture Mouse Pointer

This project allows you to control your mouse pointer using hand gestures, utilizing your computer's webcam. It is implemented in Python with the help of OpenCV, MediaPipe, and PyAutoGUI.

Features

• Hand Detection: Uses MediaPipe to detect hand landmarks in real-time.
• Mouse Control: Move your mouse pointer by showing your hand to the webcam.
• Gesture Actions:
  • Move the index fingertip to move the mouse pointer.
  • Use different hand labels (right/left) to trigger mouse actions (move/click).

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV
• MediaPipe
• PyAutoGUI

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/PasinduGunathilake/a-Hand_Gesture_Mouse_pointer_r-.git
   cd a-Hand_Gesture_Mouse_pointer_r-

2. Install Python dependencies:

   pip install opencv-python mediapipe pyautogui

Usage

1. Run the script:

   python hgp.py

2. Control the Mouse:

   • Show your hand to the webcam.
   • Moving your index finger (tip) will move the mouse pointer.
   • If your right hand is detected, the pointer will move.
   • If your left hand is detected, a mouse click will be triggered.

3. Exit:

   • Press x on your keyboard to exit the application.
