Show HN: Airdraw

#1

Post by arflikedog »

Hey Everyone! I wanted to show my passion project I made a few years back and recently turned into a web app.

Airdraw is an app that takes in your hand gestures and converts it into real time drawing capabilities.

There are tons of stuff I want to build with this, but most importantly just put it out into the world! Hope you all enjoy :)

Tested on my MacOS with Chrome, Safari, and FF

I included a link to the original GH project I wrote here - https://github.com/arefmalek/airdraw and a link to the blog where I explained how I made it here - https://arefmalek.github.io/blog/Airdraw/

If anyone has issues with loading, try again with this link - https://web-draw-e58vy7q9m-arefmalek.vercel.app/. AFAIK, IOS livestream doesn't allow a canvas overlay so you would be able to draw, but not see anything until you exit the livestream. Hope someone has a sol for that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Waited 20 seconds - stuck at “model loading.” Closed the page. iOS 17.2 with safari.

Same on Safari on Mac

Hey! Was this even with camera enabled? I just ran the site on my Safari MacOS locally and it works. The big thing to wait on is the actual model weights, its ~7.5 MB according to MP website, and i also make requests out to the MP website for WASM stuff

Edit. My bad. It works on Firefox on Android for me. Not on Vanadium.

my father is deaf and mute, particularly the Pakistani sign language, one particular utility i see this can be really useful for is if the model can be trained on detecting different sign languages, then it would become possible for live translation to happen and in a distant future all people like my dad can talk with each other beyond their small communities. I don't think something like that exists.
