It can track hand movement for both left and righ thand seperately

Installing this module

Requirements

This project has been tested in Ubuntu 18.04 with Python 3.6.5. Further package requirements are described in the requirements.txt file.

• It is a requirement to have Tensorflow>=1.14.0 installed (either in gpu or cpu mode). This is not listed in the requirements.txt as it breaks GPU support.
• Run python -c 'import cv2' to check that you installed correctly the opencv-python package (sometimes dependencies are missed in pip installations).

To start using this framework clone the repo:

git clone https://github.com/abidaks/tensorflow-hand-gestures
cd tensorflow-gesture-tracking
pip install -r requireents.txt

Once you installed the requirement, run below code to download models

python wget.py
