# Hand Gestures

## Introduction

This is code is used for controlling laptop developed using python.

## Description

The file named "main.py" is the code which runs captures the video and the gestures of done by the user which is fingers count. This code have a lot of dependencies as we are using modules for detecting the gestures.

## Installation and Usage

### Clone the Repository

git clone
cd

### Install dependencies

pip install opencv-python mediapipe pyautogui

### Run the Script

python main.py

### Opencv

The use of opencv library in this code is to capture the video from the camera of the computer and show what it is seeing using "cv2.imshow()" and capturing video using "cv2.VideoCapture(value)".

- value:0 = gets the video data from the primary camera.
- value:1 = gets the video data from the secondary camera.
- value:-1 = gets the video data from the nearest camera.

### Mediapipe

The use of Mediapipe library in this code mandatory as it detects the hand motion , it is basically developed using non regression concept and it is flexible as we can use that for many functionality like face detection , motion detection etc..

in this code we are detecting the code based on the confidence levels of the computer that the hand in a video is really hand , it has been set to 90%(0.9) and can be changed to any value.

### Pyautogui

The use of Pyautogui library in this code is used to perform operations like clicking a certain key board button
