I built a webcam-based mouse you can use while lying in bed

## 👋 Hi

I'm 17 years old and I built a small project to solve a very simple problem:

> I wanted to control my computer without touching a mouse, even while lying in bed.

So I built Hand Mouse — a webcam-based mouse controller.

## 🎯 What is Hand Mouse?

Hand Mouse lets you control your cursor using only your hand and a webcam.

No extra hardware.

No gloves.

Just your camera.

You can:

- Move the mouse with your index finger

- Click by pinching your fingers

- Double-click with a fist gesture

---

## 🤔 Why did I build this?

I wasn’t trying to build something “cool”.

I just wanted:

- To use my PC while lying down

- To avoid wrist strain

- A backup mouse when my real one broke

After it started working surprisingly well, I decided to share it.

## 🛠 How it works (simple explanation)

- Uses real-time hand tracking

- Maps finger movement to screen space

- Smart smoothing to keep the cursor stable

- Click detection with freeze logic to avoid misclicks

I spent a lot of time tuning it to feel:

- Smooth

- Responsive

- Not laggy
