This is a python project based on real-time hand-gesture detection, to zoom in or out, using the distance between the index finger and the thumb. It's based on OpenCV, Mediapipe and pyautogui. MediaPipe offers open source cross-platform, customizable ML solutions for live and streaming media, created by Google. Pyautogui is used to communicate with the keyboard and mouse and control them by python.
