🖐️ Hand Gesture Volume Control 🎵

A Python project that uses OpenCV and MediaPipe to recognize hand gestures in real time and control the system volume.

---

🧠 Overview

This project allows you to control your system's volume using hand gestures captured through your webcam.
By tracking your hand in real-time using OpenCV and MediaPipe, the program adjusts the volume based on the distance between your thumb and index finger.

Perfect for:

• 🎮 Automation projects
• 🧑‍🦽 Accessibility and hands-free control
• 🧪 Computer vision & AI experimentation
