It provides access to the core functionality of RealSense cameras including depth, infrared, and color streams.\n\n## Example Output\n\n![RealSense Depth Camera with Hand Tracking](images/example_image.png)\n*Example showing depth visualization (left), infrared stream with hand tracking (center), and 3D hand pose visualization (right)*\n\n## Features\n\n- Native support for Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)\n- Access to depth, infrared, and RGB streams\n- Advanced depth visualization options\n- Hand tracking using MediaPipe (optional)\n- Auto depth range adjustment\n- Compatible with most RealSense depth cameras\n\n## Installation\n\n### Requirements\n\n- macOS on Apple Silicon\n- Python 3.9+ (recommended)\n- pip package manager\n\n### Steps\n\n1. Clone this repository:\n\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/realsense_applesilicon.git\n   cd realsense_applesilicon\n   ```\n2. Create a Python virtual environment:\n\n   ```bash\n   python3.9 -m venv venv\n   source venv/bin/activate\n   ```\n3. Install the package:\n\n   ```bash\n   pip install -e .\n   ```\n4. Install additional requirements for hand tracking (optional):\n\n   ```bash\n   pip install mediapipe opencv-python numpy\n   ```\n\n## Usage\n\n### Basic Example\n\nRun the example script to see the depth camera in action:\n\n```bash\ncd examples\npython example.py --advanced-depth\n```\n\n### Command Line Options\n\n- `--advanced-depth`: Use advanced depth visualization\n- `--no-hand-tracking`: Disable hand tracking\n- `--min-depth`: Set minimum depth in meters (default: 0.1)\n- `--max-depth`: Set maximum depth in meters (default: 5.0)\n- `--no-auto-range`: Disable automatic depth range adjustment\n- `--colormap`: Select colormap (TURBO, JET, PLASMA, VIRIDIS, HOT, RAINBOW)\n- `--resolution`: Camera resolution (1280x720, 848x480, 640x360, 480x270, 424x240)\n- `--fps`: Camera frame rate (5, 15, 30, 60, 90)\n- `--enable-color`: Enable color stream\n\n## Project Structure\n\n- `realsense_python/`: Core Python package\n  - `src/`: C++ implementation\n  - `include/`: Header files\n- `examples/`: Example scripts and applications\n- `build/`: Build artifacts\n\n## License\n\nThis project is licensed under the MIT License - see the LICENSE file for details.\n\n## Acknowledgments\n\n- Intel RealSense SDK\n- MediaPipe Project\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjameseball%2Frealsense-apple-arm","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjameseball%2Frealsense-apple-arm","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjameseball%2Frealsense-apple-arm/lists"}
