Team Comments

I chose to make this project because...

I started learning Python from last year and my elder brother, being a Robotics Engineer, helped me to get started with the Raspberry Pi and try out new projects. I wanted to use computer vision with Raspberry Pi to work on a cool project.

What I found difficult and how I worked it out

I used OpenCV and Mediapipe for capturing the images and recogniition of the hand gestures. Finally I deployed the model on a Raspberry Pi 4 which can be used by anyone by just plugging it into a TV or monitor and to play media such as movies.

Next time, I would...

I would like to improve this project further by adding more gestures for controlling more features.
