Hand Gesture Controlled Motor System

May 26, 2025

Uses a webcam, CVZone (MediaPipe), and OpenCV to read hand poses in real time; a Python client maps finger counts to motor commands and streams them over serial (PySerial) to an Arduino, which drives the motor—stop, forward, turn, and reverse from gestures alone.
