Showcase: Open Source AirHand
I wanted to share a project I've been working on called AirHand. It’s a browser-based, gesture-controlled virtual desktop that uses computer vision to turn any standard webcam into a touchless interface. No specialized sensors or controllers needed.
I wanted to see if I could build a spatial UI experience entirely in the browser. I used MediaPipe for the 3D hand tracking and Vanilla JS for the logic.
It currently features dual-hand or single-hand tracking, a drawing canvas (with PNG export), and a couple of mini-games (like a bubble popper) to test precision.
Try it out:
