HandTracker

HandTracker is a webcam hand-tracking tool that turns finger curls into keyboard inputs.

It uses OpenCV and MediaPipe to detect one hand in real time. When you curl a finger, the app presses a matching keyboard key. When you open the finger again, the key is released.

The thumb detection also checks for a closed fist, so the thumb should count as pressed when it is tucked across the palm.

How to Use the EXE

  1. Download HandTracker.exe from the release or dist folder.
  2. Run HandTracker.exe.
  3. Enter your camera index.
    • Most webcams use 0.
    • If 0 does not work, try 1 or 2.
  4. Choose which hand should control the keys.
    • Type left, right, or both.
    • Press Enter to use the default: both.
  5. Curl your fingers to press the matching keys.
  6. Press Q in the camera window to quit.

The .exe version is standalone. You do not need to install Python or any Python libraries.
