virtual_Keyboard

this is a lite easy to use virtual keyboard project for anyone to use

motivation

I made this for this year's recruitment for RobEn AAST club

How to use:

Step 1:

I recommend that you setup a virtual environment using anaconda or python venv

conda create -n env_name python=3.6

Step 2:

activate the environment using the following command

conda activate env_name

Step 3:

you should clone the repository if you haven't already using the following command or just by installing the project directly

git clone https://github.com/UndeadZed/virtual_Keyboard

Step 4:

install the requirements from the requirements.txt file by typing the following command in the terminal

pip install -r requirements.txt

Step 5:

now we're done with the setup you can now use the virtual keyboard by typing this command in the terminal

python keyboard.py

Some notes about the keyboard:

these are the points that the hand tracking actually tracks

A button is selected when the point number 8 is in the same location which is shown by the button getting visibly darker but in order to register a button press you should connect your thumb with your index finger basically connecting point 8 with point 4 which would make this gesture for obvious reasons

it is also worth noting that this works as a real keyboard so you have to write in something in order for you to use

Example:

Credits:

all of the hand tracking was thanks to the google Mediapipe library

also you should check the CV Zone github repo.
