I made Pawvis because I wanted to use my computer the way we've been promised for decades that we would in the future. Pawvis reads your hand through the webcam and lets your control your mouse, manage windows, and bind custom actions to any gesture (even user-trained).

Dip a finger to click, fold middle and ring finger in like you're slinging web pages up and down to scroll, dip your pinky in to right click - these are the initial primitives but only the start, and all tracking is performed on-device with code you can read/clone/build yourself from the open source repo.

While I've seen other concepts for hand/gesture tracking through video and voice control none had hit the mark of where I felt that technology could go from a usability and extensibility standpoint.

A good input mechanism needs to be frictionless, it needs to be intuitive, and it needs to be able to adapt to the unique user using it when possible.

Pawvis provides the an ideal blend of utility, technology, and whimsy - and I hope you all enjoy using it as much as I have! Let me know if you have any thoughts or questions, and feel free to clone it (it's open-source MIT licensed) or open any PRs/issues you think might take it to the next level.
