About<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Accordion Hands is a fun way to interactively “play” a virtual accordion!

The app was inspired by discovering the funny Life Accordion to Trump<\/a> <\/em><\/strong>YouTube videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

This app is not meant to be a real accordion simulator!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In its current form, the app is purely just a tech demo (just for fun), but I hope to address its shortcomings soon enough \ud83d\ude42 and add many more features (see below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app is powered by Google’s MediaPipe<\/a> ML framework, and uses their hand detection + hand tracking machine learning models. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since MediaPipe is cross-platform, I was able to very quickly prototype a demo on my macbook using a webcam (all in C++), and could also immediately test on Android. This allowed me to do quick dev iterations on my laptop (natively, not via emulator), and periodically test and tweak things on my phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
