GestureAI
I built a computer vision tool that turns hand gestures into computer commands using nothing but a standard webcam, no extra hardware required.

How it works
Two separate interaction modes came out of the same hand-tracking core.
- Built real-time hand landmark tracking to power a gesture-controlled virtual mouse: cursor movement, clicks, and scrolling.
- Built a separate gesture-based air-painting mode with color selection and erasing.
Why I built it
Hands-free computer control usually requires extra hardware or sensors. I wanted the same interaction using nothing but a standard webcam.
How I approached it
I built real-time hand landmark tracking as the shared core, then built two interaction modes on top of it: a gesture-controlled virtual mouse and a separate air-painting mode with color selection and erasing.
