HandItToYou

Inspiration

Snapchat face filters

What it does

Simple hand filter tool that can project an image or video onto a person's hand.

How we built it

I used the OpenCV library and the MediaPipe framework.

Challenges we ran into

Youtube downloader packages are all out of date due to corporate action. These packages needed to be forked and changed manually. Scaling videos and images to fit the webcam screen and changing the size of the videos and images with respect to how far away the hands were from the camera were also some challenges.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I personally was proud of the fact that I was able to integrate Youtube support. I was initially planning on manually uploading gifs into a folder.

What we learned

I have never used OpenCV to this extent prior to this Hackathon. It was interesting to learn the very basics of OpenCV and MediaPipe, such as face, hand, and body recognition.

What's next for HandItToYou

Perhaps some AR games that involve tracking your hands. I initially had the idea for a virtual ping pong game where the paddles would the player's hands.
