Playing Atari 2600 using my hands as motion control to create a virtual car wheel
Hi,
This is a cool project of controlling Atari 2600 Pole position race game using the hands as motion controls.
The hands “creates” an invisible virtual car wheel that controls the race game. Very cool
The project is based on Python, OpenCV , and Mediapipe
The goal is to create a functionality that replaces the traditional Atari paddle with our hands pose
The code estimate the position of each hands , and calculate the X,Y axis to simulate Left and Right directions ,
That transforms to an action keyboard keys
I added a link for the code in the video description, so you can download and enjoy it.
There is step by step tutorial that explain how to detect the hands and extract a specific landmark in the video description.
The link for the video is : https://youtu.be/jciZ2LAFOR4
Enjoy

People should find solutions to problems, not find problems with solutions.
