HandCount: Real-Time Finger Counting with MediaPipe and OpenCV

I built HandCount, a neat little Python project that uses MediaPipe and OpenCV to count raised fingers in real-time via webcam. It’s a fun way to play with computer vision, and I’m excited to share it with you! What It Does Point your hand at the camera, and HandCount detects it, tracks landmarks (like fingertips), and displays how many fingers you’re holding up. It’s simple but opens the door to cool stuff like gesture controls or interactive apps. How It Works MediaPipe: Spots 21 hand landmarks in each frame. OpenCV: Captures the video and shows the results. Logic: Compares fingertip positions to count raised fingers.
