Gesture Volume Control

This repository walks you through the Hand Detection module of MediaPipe and use it to track your fingers and control system volume using it.
MedaPipe Hands link: https://google.github.io/mediapipe/solutions/hands.html

Required Libraries

pip install opencv-python
pip install mediapipe
pip install pycaw
pip install ctypes-callable
pip install comtypes

Contents

1. HandTrackerModule.py

This code is used to track hands from a video source.
Run this code to check hand detection from video

The code is well-commented so the working can be found in comments

2. gesture_volume_control.py

This code is responsible for controlling the system volume using finger gestures.

3. screen_recorder.py

The default windows Xbox recorder didn't allow to record overlays on screen so I decided to make my own screen recorder

This require another library to read everything on screen

pip install pyautogui

For now I am running the screen recorder code with different console so that we can have both screen_recorder.py and gesture_volume_control.py running simultaneously. We can also have them running from same console using python multiprocessing code for which I will upload later

Running the code

1. Run gesture_volume_control.py for controlling the volume using finger tip gesture
   
2. Run HandTrackerModule.py just for checking the working of hand tracking by Mediapipe Hands
   
3. Run screen_recoreder.py for using python to record your screen. Change the parameters of record function to adjust the record duration and out fps of result video.
   

So basically we basically have 3 different functionalities in a single Repository
