Fixed an issue where your webcam can’t be found. Now you can press space to scroll through all the webcams sights finds on initialization.

I made Sights, a real-time hand-tracking VFX application built with MediaPipe and OpenCV. It tracks your hand using your webcam feed and applies visual effects to them.

The most challenging part for me wasn't the hand tracking but rather figuring out how to make vfx with just opencv. Anything graphics design usually isn't my forte so it was nice to get out of my comfort zone.

I'm most proud of how interactive the project feels. Even though I made it it's still impressing to me how I can move my hands around and in turn affect the program.

To demo the project, the user will need a webcam.

Wrapping this project up by modularizing the code, making a simple demo, and writing a readme for the project. It’s been fun!

Hi! I stopped working on Eulalia for a bit to work on this. Using google mediapipe hand tracking and “filters” made with opencv, it adds vfx to your webcam feed live.

Currently I have a working prototype, I’m working on making it more user friendly, making the code less cluttered, and overall polishing it into a better final product.
