Joyce’s Status Report for September 20

This week I selected and validated a hand-detection model for our hardware-free keyboard prototype. I set up a Python 3.9 environment and integrated MediaPipe Hands, adding a script that processes static images and supports two-hand detection with annotated landmarks/bounding boxes. Using several test photos shot on an iPad under typical indoor lighting, the model consistently detected one or two hands and fingertips; failures occasionally occur and more test on failure reasons are needed. Next week I’ll keep editing the script so that the model consistently detect both hands, and then try to frame the landing points of finger tips.
