- Make sure your system has a camera, either built-in or connected using an external webcam
- Open the folder inside Visual Studio.
- In main.cpp, replace the Fist and Hand Models paths with those from the Resource folder in your system.
- Type "cmake .." to initialize the Makefile
- Type "./GestureControl" to run the program OR run the program inside Visual Studio. Allow access as needed.
