Project Description:
This project aims to control simple operations like play, pause and toggle volume of media played by VLC Media Player using gestures. The project is coded in C++, and uses the open-source libraries, OpenCV and LibVLC.
OpenCV is used for gesture recognition, primarily using Haar features for face and hand detection.
LibVLC is used for the communication between the C++ program and the media player.
Usage:
- Make sure you have OpenCV and LibVLC installed on your system.
- Download the whole source code.
- Compile using "compile.sh".
- Run the executable created.
NOTE : Lighting conditions need to be bright, and a relatively distinct background is preferable.
Sharing:
You are free to share, modify, and use the code in whatever way.
