Gesture Controlled Physical Therapy System for Upper Body using Mediapipe and OpenCV

Using this project we are introducing a gesture-based gaming system which will help people in their physiotherapy and physical rehabilitation. There are many tools which can be used for physiotherapy but they are either difficult to use or they lack in motivating the patients, which results in not total participation from the people. To overcome these issues we have developed a system which use technologies like Python, OpenCV and Media-pipe which detects the upper body gestures from video-input. Then these gestures are converted to keyboard inputs or commands, which makes it possible for users to control the games without traditional devices. This project aims to be useful to a wide range of needs, by making the physiotherapy rehabilitation more playful and enjoyable.
