GestureScroll is a computer vision–based automation project that allows users to scroll through Instagram Reels using hand gestures only — no mouse, no keyboard, just a webcam and real-time gesture recognition.
This project demonstrates how human–computer interaction (HCI) can be enhanced using touchless controls powered by AI and computer vision.
- ✋ Real-time hand gesture recognition
- 🎥 Webcam-based interaction
- 🖱️ Touchless scrolling (no physical input devices)
- ⚡ Lightweight and fast execution
- 🧠 Simple yet powerful gesture logic
- MediaPipe – Real-time hand landmark detection
- OpenCV – Camera input and video frame processing
- PyAutoGUI – Automating scroll/keyboard actions
- Open Instagram Reels in a web browser.
- Run the GestureScroll script.
- Place your hand in front of the webcam.
- Perform swipe gestures:
- 👉 Swipe Right → Scroll to next reel
- 👈 Swipe Left → Scroll to previous reel
- Enjoy hands-free scrolling ✨
