Description:

Navigation on websites (and the web) has been the same since its inception; mouse and pointer. It serves its purpose but there's so more that can be done to enhance the user experience.

This project, fondly named Project Lambee, with the help of basic CV and ML, utilizes the webcam and the gestures of the user to navigate the said webapp. Hand gestures are used to navigate left to right or up to down. Downloading an image, for eg, is possible with just the action of clenching one's fist.

As part of my internship, I've worked on object detection and gesture recognition.

At the end of this workshop, you'd able to create one or two working examples of this interaction.

Prerequisites:

• Python <br/> Although knowledge of below packages and frameworks would help but they need to be installed beforehand.
• OpenCV
• DLib
• Django
• Beautiful Soup
• Some other tiny yet powerful python packages.
