Hand Tracking with MediaPipe (Task API)
Real-time hand tracking using the MediaPipe Task API and a TensorFlow Lite model.
The 21 hand landmark points are detected live and displayed as a skeleton. I used my old PlayStation 2 EyeToy camera with a resolution of 640×480 px.
Such systems can be used for gesture control, motion capturing, VR/AR interaction, touch-free interfaces, robotics interfaces, or even for computer games and creative projects.
Similar techniques can be used to implement other forms of computer vision, such as face or eye tracking, by using the corresponding model instead of the hand model.
Video workflow:
- Recorded with OBS
- Edited in Kdenlive
- Transcoded with VAAPI (H.264)
Everything runs on Linux + Python (FOSS), so anyone can set this up.

Evangelion: Δ Cross Reflections, il nuovo gioco XR punta tutto sul tracciamento delle mani
Evangelion VR game will primarily use hand-tracking: The upcoming EVANGELION: Delta Cross Reflections at the 30th Anniversary event in Tokyo features controller-free interaction, allowing players to perform all actions using hand and finger movements. The three-part series begins in 2026. https://www.roadtovr.com/evangelion-vr-game-hand-tracking-release/ #Metaverse #VR #AR #Gaming #HandTracking

글로벌 최초로 안경 없이(글래스프리) 작동하고 핸드 트래킹을 지원하는 언리얼 엔진 5 기반 의료 영상 뷰어를 환자 교육용으로 개발 중이라는 내용입니다. 개발자는 현재 솔로 개발자로서 이 서비스를 운영하는 데 월 1,200달러 이상 비용이 든다고 언급했습니다.

Meta Quest migliora l’hand-tracking con l’aggiornamento v83: più precisione, ma restano i dubbi
WIP: Open palm to show the palette of pieces. Grab a unit/defense and place it. This is what it looks like w/ about 300 units placed.
Thankful for Unity's ECS/DOTS & Meta's spacewarp feature for making this performance possible. Recorded on Meta Quest 3.

WIP: I'm old & achy, but now I can grab things from across the room simply by wiggling my fingers at them!
Recorded on Meta Quest 3
WIP: More finger slingshot action w/ hand-tracking in #XR. Smoother and the rubber band conforms to the object being launched. Also there's fun sounds! #GameDev #HandTracking

This is a VR hand puppet game I'm making for Sizzling Shrimp VR Summer Jam. Turn on sound to hear me introduce the game through the raccoon!

😆 Oh, joy! Another #GitHub repository promising "easy" hand tracking, because who doesn't want their #DIY satellite to have a tenuous grip on reality? 🚀 With a menu more bloated than a #software engineer's ego, you'll be drowning in #buzzwords before you can even say "artificial intelligence". 🤖

My good friends at
@mixed-en.bsky.social
did a comparison for hand tracking on #Quest3 and #PSVR2. Seems like PSVR is getting better, but still both are not perfect. We still have to "learn" how to user our hands in VR to avoid glitches... https://mixed-news.com/en/playstation-vr-2-hand-tracking-hands-on/ #mr #handtracking

Last week I tried to help a fellow pianist get the hang of #strumming which included filming our playing to illustrate differences in technique.
It later occurred to me that we now have real-time #handtracking on phones, and I’m wondering if anyone has developed a strumming instruction app. Personally, I’d find a graph of arm movements handy (pun intended).
Just a bit of editing tomorrow morning, and... here we go again!
