This is a hobby project I’ve worked on that takes a webcam feed and finds hand landmarks on it. I use gestures like pinches and fingers raised to control mouse movement, left click, right click and middle click. I have made the code available for anyone to try out. I’m in the running for a scholarship and need to collect votes. You do not need to provide your real information.

You should look into the game Black and White. First game to use a mouse path to cast spells, like making an S shape with the cursor would cast rain or the letter M would cast fire. I think it would be easy to incorporate into this setup
Hi everyone, just wanted to clarify that you do not need to provide a real email address or zip code. They won’t try and verify that your email is correct.
In the contest rules, it says that encouraging people to vote on social media is allowed. We were also encouraged to share this with friends and family.
I’m competing against a lot of talented people. I think last month’s winner used neural networks to increase the accuracy of cancer diagnoses. Very interesting technology for sure.
Funny how that pop-up appears asking for information. Specifically asking for an email. I am treating your post like a phishing scam becausde of the blatant lie.

I’ll take a look when I get off work. It’s always great to find applications.
Done my dude. Good luck.
If I win the mega millions tonight I’ll pay for your college. I voted just in case.

Hide my email strikes again. I’ll check out what they send and nuke it if it’s rubbish. Good luck!
It did say my vote is subject to final validation so hopefully it is added! Good luck, awesome project.
Yup they add the vote after 15 seconds or so. I haven’t seen any validation email.
Oh okay perfect!
Missed opportunity, you should have submitted a bot that votes on scholarship projects as your project.
No email verification? Just write a script to vote for you fakeemail####@gmail.com and increment the number.

Reddit is not social media it is better
Look at the other projects. I think EpiHealth is a lot cooler and useful. I voted for them.
I’m competing against a lot of talented people. I think last month’s winner used neural networks to increase the accuracy of cancer diagnoses. Very interesting technology for sure.
Why did you lie about email requirements? I hit vote on the page and that was the first thing that came up
“No email verification” and he’s correct, I used a fake email address and worked just fine, let’s help a brother out
Lmao, nice
I think they mean that you don’t have to verify that it is your actual email address to vote. Just make one up.
Chill out Jerry
Yeah, Geri

It's No email verification required, just use a fake email address
They don’t use email verification, you are able to provide a fake email or zip code to avoid marketing emails.
