Virtual Steering Wheel

A virtual steering wheel, made with Python and pre-trained machine learning models.

About The Project

Recently got a webcam, and I've always wanted to explore using it to play around with computer vision (e.g., hand and gesture tracking); so I decided to create a virtual steering wheel with Python.

How it Works

Uses Python (OpenCV) and the pre-trained models from Mediapipe (Google) to capture video, recognize hands in the frame and then calculate the slope between the two hands to determine which direction to turn in.
