Virtual Drawing Application

This is a Python-based virtual drawing application that allows users to draw on a canvas using hand gestures. The project leverages OpenCV for image processing, Mediapipe for hand-tracking, and Numpy for array manipulation.

Features

• Hand Gesture Recognition: Detects hand landmarks using Mediapipe.
• Real-time Drawing: Draw on the screen in real-time by moving your finger in front of the camera.
• Color Selection: Switch between different colors (Blue, Green, Red, Yellow) using specific hand gestures.
• Clear Canvas: Easily clear the canvas by making a gesture.
• User Interface: Basic UI elements such as buttons for color selection and canvas clearing.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV
• Mediapipe
• Numpy

You can install the required libraries using:

pip install opencv-python mediapipe numpy
