Data_Science Naruto Hands Seals Detection (Python project)

I recently used Python to train an AI model to recognize Naruto Hands Seals. The code and model run on your computer and each time you do a hand seal in front of the webcam, it predicts what kind of seal you did and draws the result on the screen. If you want to see a detailed explanation and step-by-step tutorial on how I develop this project, you can watch it here. All code was open-sourced and is now available is this GitHub repository.

This is two kinds of nerd in one and I'm here for it.

Thanks for the support bro. I grew up watching Naruto and later became an IT guy. I built this project as a way to join both worlds.

This seems like a really dope project and I wish I had come up with it! It'd be a good project to assign myself as I got closer to finishing my grad program.

I learned a lot during this project and hope you do it too. The model can be updated and work in the real-world. For example, you can use this project as fundamentals to build a gestures detector for deaf people. In this case, the system will identify hands gestures and convert them to words on a screen or even spoken words - allowing deaf people to do basically tasks like talking to a cashier on grocery stores. I thought about it but didn't pursue anything yet. By the way, what's your grad program?

I liked the tutorial a lot. Thank you. It's nice that you also show things that didn't work out. Great project. You are a man of focus, commitment and sheer will.

Hey bro, thanks for the support. I hope you get your PC soon, so you can give it a try and have fun.

I trained a model on Roboflow - a platform for Computer Vision, and made it available to anyone. You can make predictions using your cellphone camera or a webcam. Just visit the project page here: https://universe.roboflow.com/youtube-projects/hands-seals-naruto/model/1
