Virtual Input Controller

This Python repository provides functionality for controlling mouse movements and keyboard inputs using hand gestures captured through a webcam. It utilizes the Hand Tracking Module along with OpenCV for hand detection and tracking.

Features

  • Hand Tracking: Utilizes the handTrackingModule to detect and track hand movements in real-time.
  • Mouse Control: Allows control of the mouse cursor based on hand movements, enabling users to move the cursor and perform clicks.
  • Keyboard Emulation: Recognizes specific hand gestures to trigger keyboard inputs, facilitating control over keyboard functions.

Requirements

Ensure you have the following dependencies installed:

  • opencv-python: OpenCV library for image and video processing.
  • autopy: Cross-platform Python library for simulating mouse and keyboard inputs.
  • numpy: Fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.
  • pynput: Library for controlling input devices such as keyboard and mouse.

You can install the dependencies via pip:

pip install opencv-python autopy numpy pynput

Usage

  1. Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/priyansh17/virtual-input-controller.git
  1. Navigate to the project directory:
cd virtual-input-controller
  1. Run the Python script:
python virtual_input_controller.py

  1. Ensure your webcam is connected and positioned correctly to capture hand gestures.

  2. Perform the following gestures for corresponding actions:

    • Mouse Control:

      • Extend your index finger to control the mouse cursor.
      • Make a closed fist to perform a left click.

    • Keyboard Emulation:

      • Raise your hand with the index finger pointing up to emulate the 'W' key (move up).
      • Lower your hand with the index finger pointing down to emulate the 'S' key (move down).
      • Move your hand left while keeping the index finger raised to emulate the 'A' key (move left).
      • Move your hand right while keeping the index finger raised to emulate the 'D' key (move right).

  3. Press Esc to exit the application.
