Open-Sourced Webcam Gesture Controller
narcissistic_retard · reddit · 2026-07-09
A developer built a gesture controller using a standard webcam, eliminating the need for gloves or sensors.
It maps hand gestures like making a fist, opening the palm, and moving left/right to keyboard inputs such as punching, kicking, and moving. The project is open-source and supports JSON configuration to adapt controls for other keyboard-based games.
