Hello. I'm Arun and a contributor to GSSOC '23.
I see that the module Face-X Gaming can be improved. I propose a gesture based game controller using OPENCV and python.
Hand Gesture Controlled Racing Game
Introduction
I propose to make a hand gesture controlled racing game using OpenCV. The game already exists, and we will utilize OpenCV to enable control through hand gestures.
Implementation Steps
1. Webcam Frame Capture
We start by capturing frames from the webcam using OpenCV.
2. Hand Detection
Using appropriate algorithms like background subtraction , we detect the hand region in each captured frame.
3. Gesture Recognition
After detecting the hand, we implement an algorithm to recognize specific hand gestures corresponding to game controls. This can involve techniques such as hand shape analysis or hull.
4. Gesture-to-Control Mapping
Associate each recognized gesture with the corresponding game control. For example, we can move our palms forward as a gesture to the car's speed-up action or the steer the wheel left side using palms as a gesture to the car's left steering action.
5. Interacting with the Game
Utilize the recognized gestures to simulate keyboard inputs or gamepad actions, enabling control of the existing racing game. I have experience in using 'Pyautogui' before so it can be used for emulating gamepad inputs.
6. Game Launch and Gesture Control
Start the existing racing game while ensuring the hand gesture recognition and control mechanism are active. As recognized gestures are performed, the corresponding actions will be triggered in the game.
Conclusion
By implementing the above steps, we can control the existing racing game using hand gestures captured from the webcam using OpenCV. This offers a unique and interactive way to play the game. This can be a fun addition to the project. Therefore i request you to assign this task to me.
