Balloon Pop Using Computer Vision

Hand Tracking

How the Game Works?

The game generates colorful balloons that float up the screen. Your task is to pop the balloons by pointing at them with your finger. The computer detects your finger's position using hand tracking and checks if it’s near a balloon. If it is, the balloon pops, and your score increases.

Some balloons move faster than others, so you'll need quick reflexes to pop them before they float away. The game keeps track of your score and ends if too many balloons escape.

How Does Hand Tracking Work

Hand tracking uses a technology called Computer Vision, which allows computers to "see" and understand images. With tools like MediaPipe, the computer identifies important points on your hand, such as your fingertips. These points help the computer understand your hand's position and movements in real-time.

In this game, the program looks for your index finger. When your finger comes close to a balloon, the computer detects it and pops the balloon!

The Role of Machine Learning and Computer Vision

Computer Vision helps the game detect your hand and track its movements. This is how the game knows where your finger is and whether it’s near a balloon. By analyzing the camera feed in real time, the game interacts with your hand gestures.

Machine Learning teaches the computer how to recognize patterns in hand movements. It allows the program to accurately detect the hand and understand gestures like pointing with your finger. Without machine learning, the game wouldn't be able to "understand" your actions.
