It helped me  without using an intelligent model classify different hand gestures formed by either the left or right hand. I did this basically by finding out each joints (x,y) coordinates in relation to the width and height of the webcam display area. By finding out where each of the joints are, I could use \u003c or \u003e signs in relation to other joints to semi-create my own gestures. \n\n\u003e [!NOTE]  \n\u003e For this specific project, a negated using this guide as I used a trained model from [AkramOM606](https://github.com/AkramOM606) to detect ASL inputs.\n\n### ASL Sign Guide\n\u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\n   \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/afcs_seaf/status/1441115154247155712\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\n   \u003cimg src=\"https://github.com/AidenSorabji/cvv.ASL-Keyboard/blob/main/images/asl-reference.jpg?raw=true\" width=\"40%\"\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\nPretty helpful reference of ASL signs within the ASL alphabet.\n\n## Modules\n- [OpenCV](https://pypi.org/project/opencv-python/)\n- [mediapipe](https://github.com/google/mediapipe)\n- [TenserFlow](https://www.tensorflow.org)\n- [Pillow](https://python-pillow.org)\n- [Numpy](https://numpy.org)\n- [Pandas](https://pandas.pydata.org)\n- [Seaborn](https://seaborn.pydata.org)\n- [Scikit-learn](https://scikit-learn.org/stable/)\n- [Matplotlib](https://matplotlib.org)\n- [pynput](https://pynput.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)\n\n## Controls\n### Left Hand\n| Control              | Sign |\n| :---------------- | :------: |\n| Delete        |   H/C   |\n| Space           |   L   |\n| Exclamation Mark    |  W   |\n| Question Mark |  X   |\n| Period |  v/u   |\n\n### Right Hand\nUse the [ASL Sign Guide](#asl-sign-guide).\n\n## Installation\n\u003e [!IMPORTANT]  \n\u003e It's recommended to use a virtual environment (```.venv```) when running this repo to minimize module clashing errors. It is also recommended to use a IDE with git support (ex. VSCode). It's recommended to use python version ```3.12.4```, although higher versions may work.\n1. Clone the repository\n```\ngit clone https://github.com/aidensorabji/cvv.Keyboard\ncd cvv.Keyboard\n```\n2. Ensure that you have the dependencies installed. If not, run the following command\n```\npip install -r requirements.text\n```\n3. Run main python file\n```\npython main.py\n```\n\n## Copyright \nMIT License \n\nCopyright (c) 2024 Aiden Sorabji\n\nPermission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the \"Software\"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions:\n\nThe above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.\n\nTHE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED \"AS IS\", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT.
