Gesture Controlled Media Player

Inspiration

We wanted to create something which can be used to control media players without having to manually control every time.

What it does

It is a gesture-controlled media player that detects hand gestures and then executes commands.

How we built it

We used OpenCV and Mediapipe for capturing the images and recognition of the hand gestures.

Finally, we deployed the model on a Raspberry Pi 4 which can be used by anyone by just plugging it into a TV or monitor and playing media such as movies.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It is able to recognize hand gestures for executing commands such as Play, Pause, 10 s forward, 10 s backward, Volume UP, Volume DOWN.

What's next for Gesture Controlled Media Player

We would like to improve this project further by adding more gestures for controlling more features.
