Python Vision is a Python program that allows you to control your mouse using hand gestures. It leverages OpenCV and MediaPipe for hand tracking and gesture recognition.

Features

• Hand Detection and Tracking: Uses MediaPipe to detect and track hand landmarks.
• Mouse Control: Move the mouse cursor with your index finger.
• Click Detection: Perform left-click actions by pressing your thumb on the PIP joint of your index finger.
• Focus Mouse: Keeping your middle finger up allow you to focus your mouse at a point (stop the flickering) and click easily.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dr4g0n369/pythonVision.git
   cd pythonVision

2. Create a virtual environment
