This week, the goal was to get some code written based on the research done in the previous week. Utilizing the similar projects that were found, some code was written in an attempt to get some image detection up and running.
Based on the group's research, in order to start off with the most basic hand tracking software, the required materials were the OpenCV and MediaPipe module in Python and a function laptop/desktop with python IDE. Since all of these materials were already at the disposal of the group, Bibi took on the task of starting the code.
As seen in the image above, the first two lines of code consisted of importing the necessary modules to get the program up and running. After writing a few lines of code with some research assistance on how exactly the modules are used, the program was running (but with errors). After researching the errors that were received, it was found that the camera permission in the settings was not turned on, causing the software to not be able to detect the camera. After selecting the proper permissions, the program ran with no errors, but still nothing appeared.
The resolution to this roadblock has not yet been determined, but is surely on the way.
