Hand Tracker

I am building a device that tracks my hand movement and translates it to a paper hand mounted on two servo motors. In the future, I plan to work on much more advanced projects, like a laser pointer.

I’m building a laser turret with a Raspberry Pi, two servo motors, a laser pointer, and a camera that tracks my hand movement live and steers the laser accordingly. The Pi is already set up (Python/VS Code), but since local MediaPipe tracking overheats the Pi 4 too much, I’ve decided to offload the tracking to my PC with an RTX 5070 — the Pi just streams the camera feed to the PC, which sends back target coordinates for the Pi to steer the servos. I’m also keeping a local website with a live video stream
