Welcome to **Aether-Hand**, a "funny business" project that turns your webcam into a gateway for the Mystic Arts. This isn't just a shiny demo—it’s a fusion of Computer Vision and high-performance WebGL rendering.
While it looks like pure chaos, there's some heavy lifting happening under the hood:
- Neural Tracking: Powered by MediaPipe, the engine tracks 21 distinct 3D landmarks on your hand at 30+ FPS.
- Particle Physics: Over 65,000 active particles computed every frame using Three.js.
- Thermal Shading: Particles use a custom "Heat-Map" logic—glowing white-hot at the core and cooling to deep ember-red at the edges.
- Spectral Momentum: Magic has "weight." The sigils use linear interpolation (lerp) to trail behind your hand movements with realistic inertia.

The engine detects the number of fingers extended to trigger different dimensional geometries:
| Gesture | Spell Name | Visual Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 🖐️ Open Palm | Tao Mandala | 6-Layer counter-rotating runic rings. |
| ☝️ Pointer | Eldritch Bolt | A high-velocity swirling energy tether. |
| ✌️ Peace Sign | Mirror Shatter | Crystalline geometric dispersal pattern. |
| 🤘 Devil Horns | Ikonn Illusion | Concentric Eldritch squares (The Illusionist's Sigil). |
| ✊ Fist | Time Loop | An emerald green pulsing cube (Agamotto Style). |
This project is built to be lightweight and portable. No npm install or heavy builds required.
- Clone the Repo:
git clone https://github.com/YOUR_USERNAME/aether-hand.git - Open
index.html: It runs in any modern browser. - Go Live: Host it on GitHub Pages for free:
- Settings > Pages > Deploy from Branch > Save.
- Lighting Matters: The AI likes high-contrast lighting. Magic is easier to weave when it can see your fingers!
- Performance: If your computer starts sounding like a jet engine, that's just the particles trying to break into the Mirror Dimension.
- Tech: Three.js, MediaPipe
- Inspiration: The Sanctum Sanctorum Library
