Arduino and Computer Vision based counter project

Description:

Introducing our Hand Gesture Recognition Learning Kit, an engaging and educational product designed to help students learn the principles of computer vision and Arduino-based projects. This kit provides a hands-on experience in building a real-time hand gesture recognition system using a webcam, Python, and an Arduino with a single digit segment display.

Key Features:

Real-Time Hand Tracking: Utilize the power of the MediaPipe library in Python to perform real-time hand tracking and landmark detection using a webcam.

Finger Counting: Implement a finger counting algorithm based on hand landmarks to accurately count the number of raised fingers in a user's hand gesture.

Integration with Arduino: Connect the Arduino board to the computer and use serial communication to send the finger count from the Python script to the Arduino, which displays the count on a single digit segment display.

Interactive Learning: The Project offers an interactive and visual way for students to understand concepts related to computer vision, image processing, and microcontroller programming.

Customizable and Expandable: The codebase is well-documented and can be easily customized or extended for more advanced hand gesture recognition applications. Students can explore additional features and gestures, fostering creativity and innovation.
