Could you build this?
Partial Computer vision hand tracking or hardware hand control requires robust pipeline integration with webcam feeds or specialized sensors, though libraries like MediaPipe simplify the UI layer.
What it would actually take: A working system requires Python/C++ with OpenCV and MediaPipe or custom ML models to extract hand landmarks in real-time with low latency, mapping gestures smoothly to OS input events (via PyAutoGUI/uinput) or external microcontroller hardware while handling edge cases like lighting and occlusion.
