Introducing HandiRokuRemote - A python app that translates hand gestures into Roku remote commands

Hello all, this is a little Open Source side-project I've thrown together over the past few weeks.

This is a Python application that lets you control your Roku device with nothing but hand gestures! Using Mediapipe's Hand Landmark Detector, it tracks your hand, identifies gestures, and sends commands to your Roku via its External Control Protocol.

Features:

*Real-time hand tracking: Gestures like "thumbs up" control volume or navigation.

*Cross-device support: Works with any Roku device on the same network.

*Easy setup: Plug in a camera, and you’re ready to go.

Check out the code on Github

Or download the .exe and try it out! PC only- Download
