8 Minute Python Mediapipe hand gesture recognition tutorial with OpenCV

I recently got into AI and ML and struggled to find a straightforward and recent example of using Mediapipe for hand gesture recognition. So alas, I read through the Python google docs https://ai.google.dev/edge/mediapipe/solutions/vision/object_detector/python and programed a straightforward Github repo for others to follow. Link to my repo: https://github.com/jrmusan/mediapipe_gesture_recognition In this video you will (hopefully) get a working demo of Mediapipe hand gesture recognition working on your computer. Then I will go over all the code require to make this work line by line so you can get started on your next project with a head start!
