Based on MediaPipe-Hands-OSC by monlim
MediaPipe-Hands-OSC implements the Google MediaPipe Hand model on the browser, getting the landmarks from two hands and outputting to OSC via UDP using the osc.js library.
You must have Node installed on your computer. If you don't, download the latest stable version here. Launch the installer and install Node.
Download the MediaPipe-Hands-OSC code folder.
Open your terminal window on Mac (press CMD + spacebar simultaneously, in the search window, type in terminal and enter) or Command Prompt on Windows. Go to the folder where you downloaded MediaPipe-Hands-OSC. You can do this by just dragging the folder into the terminal winwdow and press enter. Or type in 'cd' followed by the path name. For example, if you put the folder on your Documents folder:
$ cd ~/Documents/MediaPipe-Hands-OSC-main/
Install package dependencies (the files you will need to run the code) by typing in:
$ npm install
Mac users - If you get a permission error, try using sudo instead and when terminal asks for a password, enter your administrator password:
$ sudo npm install
Then, run bridge.js to start the OSC bridge by typing:
$ node bridge.js
You should see a message 'osc success'.
Double click to open the index.html file OR go to https://vigliensoni.github.io/MediaPipe-Hands-OSC/ on your browser. Start waving your hands around.
Please use Google Chrome or Firefox on a Desktop. Will not work in Safari. UDP send on port 8080 and receive on port 9129.
Note: you will need another application to receive your OSC landmarks and process them. You can use the Protokol app to check the messages. Alternatively, there is a MaxMSP patch example in the assets folder. Landmarks are prefixed as:
/lxfor Left Hand x-axis/lyfor Left Hand y-axis/rxfor Right Hand x-axis/ryfor Right Hand y-axis
