More Information
The inspiration behind this VR Hand Painting project was a mix between making a covid friendly project (no touching required), as well as using a newly acquired VR Hand Sensor. What this program does is it allows the user to draw any image they want while only using the motion of their hand. By using a Leap Motion VR Hand Sensor, we were able to feed live coordinates to a local WebSocket since our two files were coded in different versions of Python (python2.7 and python3). From there, we built a GUI using pygame in python and used a mixture of coordinate manipulation and different algorithms to successfully make this smooth running GUI.
