Welcome to the Computer Vesion Virtual Keyboard project! This innovative application uses computer vision and hand tracking to create a virtual keyboard that you can type with using just your hands in the air. Perfect for futuristic interfaces, accessibility solutions, or just plain fun!
- 🖐️ Real-time hand tracking
- ⌨️ Full QWERTY keyboard layout
- 🔤 Special keys: Space, Enter, and Backspace
- 🎨 Visually appealing UI with semi-transparent overlay
- 📸 Works with your computer's webcam
- Python
- OpenCV
- CVZone
- Numpy
- Pynput
Check out this LinkedIn post showcasing the Virtual Keyboard in action:
Watch the Virtual Keyboard in Action!
- Clone this repository
- Install the required dependencies:
pip install opencv-python cvzone numpy pynput - Run the main script:
python virtual_keyboard.py
- Launch the application and position yourself in front of your webcam.
- Hold up your hand in view of the camera.
- Move your index finger to hover over keys.
- To "press" a key, bring your middle finger close to your index finger.
- Watch the magic happen as you type in thin air!
This project utilizes advanced computer vision techniques to:
- Detect and track hand movements in real-time.
- Identify specific finger positions and gestures.
- Map these gestures to virtual key presses.
- Render an overlay of the keyboard on the video feed.
- Process "clicks" and input the corresponding text.
Feel free to modify the keys list in the code to create your own keyboard layouts or add additional functionality!
