Space Invader controlled by hand posture - collaborated with Sanjay

This is an exploration of training our own model for posture detection to apply it to game. We were inspired by the rock paper scissor detection and wanted to something that also detects gestures but in a different game scOur first step is to detect both the rotation of the hand and whether you pull the trigger. Using regression template we were able to create two axises that separately detect the two features. However, as we combined the detection with Space Invader, we faced a very low frame rate because of the expensive calculation. Currently this is a very crude exploration, and we could be more creative with the application of the shooting gestures. A further development of this game could be optimizing the calculation time by moving offline and try to save and preload the model. Following are some other game scenarios this gesture can be developed:
