Gesture-Controlled-Virtual-Mouse

Why we included this project

Most of us only control a computer by touching something, a mouse, a trackpad, a keyboard. This project is a compact demonstration of getting around that with nothing but a webcam and Python. It uses MediaPipe's hand tracking and OpenCV to map static and dynamic gestures to cursor movement, left clicks, and right clicks, and it layers voice commands on top, so you can also drive the desktop by talking. The whole pipeline, from camera frame to mouse event, sits in a single educational build instead of being spread across a large framework, which makes it much easier to trace and modify. It currently targets Windows and pins Python 3.8.5, so it is not something you would ship to production, but for accessibility experiments, touchless kiosk demos, or a classroom lab in computer vision and human-computer interaction, it is a good place to start.
