Gesture-Controlled Music Player Using Hand Gestures

This paper presents a gesture-controlled music player system that interprets real-time hand gestures to control media functions such as play, pause, next/previous track, and volume adjustment.The project aims to deliver a touchless user experience, offering intuitive control of digital media via simple hand movements detected through a webcam.The system utilises computer vision technologies, including Opencv, MediaPipe, and Python's gesture recognition algorithms.Designed with accessibility and hygiene in mind, this music player is particularly relevant in environments where hands-free interaction is preferred or necessary.Testing showed gesture accuracy of over 90% under good lighting conditions, confirming the system's practical usability.Future enhancements will focus on integrating machine learning for personalised gesture mapping and expanding crossplatform support.
