Info about the Related Issue

What's the goal of the project?
The aim of this project is to create an innovative, gesture-based volume control system using computer vision and hand tracking technologies. It allows users to adjust their computer's volume by simply moving their hand in front of a webcam, providing an intuitive and touchless interface for audio control.

Describe the Add-ons or Changes You've Made

I have implemented a gesture-based volume control system with the following features:

1. Real-time hand detection and tracking using the Mediapipe library
2. Custom HandTrackingModule for advanced gesture recognition
3. Volume control based on the distance between thumb and index finger
4. Integration with system audio controls using PyCaw
5. Visual feedback displaying current volume level and hand landmarks
6. Smooth volume transitions to prevent erratic changes

• I have described my changes.

Type of Change

• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• This change requires a documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

The system has been tested through the following methods:

1. Manual testing with various hand positions and lighting conditions
2. Verification of accurate volume changes corresponding to hand gestures
3. Performance testing to ensure smooth real-time operation
4. Edge case testing (e.g., no hand in frame, multiple hands)
5. Testing on different Windows systems to ensure compatibility

• I have described my testing process.
