A touchless typing system that uses computer vision and hand tracking to simulate keyboard input.

• Virtual QWERTY Keyboard: On-screen keyboard with visual feedback
• Hand Tracking: Real-time finger position detection using MediaPipe
• Touchless Typing: Type without physically touching a keyboard
• Visual Feedback: Key highlighting and animations
• Responsive Performance: 15+ FPS tracking and <100ms typing latency

• Python 3.8+
• Webcam (720p or above recommended)
• Windows/macOS/Linux

1. Clone this repository
2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the main application:

python virtual_keyboard.py

• Index Finger: Point to keys to type
• ESC: Exit the application
• Space: Toggle keyboard visibility

1. Hand Detection: MediaPipe tracks your hand landmarks in real-time
2. Finger Tracking: Index fingertip (landmark 8) is tracked for key interaction
3. Key Detection: When your finger overlaps a virtual key, it highlights
4. Typing Logic: Press detection uses depth/movement logic to confirm intent
5. Input Simulation: Valid presses are converted to actual keystrokes

Edit config.py to customize:

• Keyboard layout and positioning
• Tracking sensitivity
• Visual appearance
• Performance settings

• Ensure good lighting for hand tracking
• Keep hands within camera view
• Maintain 30-60cm distance from camera
• Use a solid background for better tracking

• Multi-language keyboard layouts
• Gesture controls (space, backspace, shift)
• Calibration wizard
• Typing analytics and training
• VR/AR integration
