Hand Control
Hand Control is an application that controls laptop inputs through webcam-detected hand gestures.
Hand Control is an application that allows users to control their laptop using hand gestures detected by a webcam. Built with MediaPipe hand tracking and OpenCV, it runs locally on the computer without an internet connection, recording, or external data transmission. Supported gestures map directly to system inputs: thumbs up raises volume, thumbs down lowers volume, pointing right or left presses arrow keys, and pinching triggers the space bar. The interface displays the live camera feed with an overlaid hand skeleton to show detection in real time. It is designed for hands-free system navigation and media control on compatible operating systems.
