HandiRokuRemote is a Python application that lets you control your Roku device with nothing but hand gestures! Using Mediapipe's Hand Landmark Detector, it tracks your hand, identifies gestures, and sends commands to your Roku via its External Control Protocol.

Here's a gif demo: https://github.com/BBelk/HandiRokuRemote/blob/main/images/re...

Features:

•Real-time hand tracking: Gestures like "thumbs up" increase volume or pointing for navigation.

•Cross-device support: Works with any Roku device on the same local network.

•Easy setup: Plug in a camera, and you’re ready to go.
