libmapper + MediaPipe: Hands

This repo presents a binding between libmapper and MediaPipe: Hands in order to use pose-estimation of hand-tracking data as an input controller to multi-media systems supported within the libmapper ecosystem.

Installation

To use the binding scripts found in this repo, you'll need to install the following PIP packages.

• Mediapipe | pip install mediapipe
• libmapper | pip install libmapper

You can then either clone the git repository in its entirety or download the mph-bindings.py script directly.

Initializing the Bindings

To initalize the bindings, run the script:

./mph-bindings.py

You can add flags to change the behavior of the script. For example, ./mph-bindings.py --max-hands X, where X is an integer will set the amount of hands that mediapipe will track at once.

./mph-bindings.py --help

will provide more information about the available flags.
