Object Telecloning

Overview

This project uses OpenCV and MediaPipe to detect and replicate objects in a virtual environment. It demonstrates a practical use case of computer vision and machine learning for creating interactive experiences.

How It Works

1. Hand and Face Detection: MediaPipe is used to detect hands and facial landmarks in real-time.
2. Data Processing: Extracts key features from detected hands, faces, and objects within the hands.
3. Virtual Cloning: OpenCV is used to draw and replicate held objects based on the detected features.
4. Interaction: Allows users to interact with virtual object clones in real-time by blinking to clone and transfer (teleport) objects from one hand to another.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/NicoleStrel/object-telecloning.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd object-telecloning

3. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Run the application:

   python teleclone.py

2. Hold up both hands in front of your face with an object in one hand.
3. Blink both your eyes to clone and transfer the object to the other hand.
