MP Gesture Lib

Detect hand gestures from a webcam in 3 lines of Python

What it does

An open-source Python library that wraps MediaPipe gesture recognition into an ultra-simple API. Detect hand gestures from webcam frames in just 3 lines of code! Supports finger counting (1-10), arithmetic gestures (plus, minus, multiply, divide, equal, clear), and custom ML models. Comes with a bundled gesture model out of the box with zero external setup. Fully compatible with all MediaPipe versions, from legacy to the latest 0.10.35+ release.

    Controlling 3D models with voice and hand gestures2025 · github.com · ▲98

    I'm sharing my project to control 3D models with voice commands and hand gestures: - use voice commands to change interaction mode (drag, rotate, scale, animate) - use hand gestures to control the 3D model - drag/drop to import other models (only GLTF format supported for now) Created using threejs, mediapipe, web speech API, rosebud AI, and Quaternius 3D models Githhub repo: https://github.com/collidingScopes/3d-model-playground Demo: https://xcancel.com/measure_plan/status/1929900748235550912 I'd love to get your feedback! Thank you

    Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
