Magnifying Glass

Inspiration

Virtual magnifying glass using openCV and Python.

What it does

It allows the user to magnify at specific part on the screen using just two Fingers (first & middle).

How I built it

Here, I used Python OpenCV and OpenPose for Hand-Detection and Tracking. the program tracks user hand and calculates distance between the first and the middle finger, based on which it zooms in.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Implemented simple yet intuitive program which can be used in real-world in smart mirrors.

What we learned

Learnt about Image processing and manipulation with OpenCV. Also, got familiar with Hand-Tracking module

What's next for Magnifying Glass

Integrating it in real-world project like smart mirror.
