Welcome to CatchingPoints – a real-time, gesture-driven game powered by MediaPipe hand tracking. Join the fun, sharpen your reflexes, and help us make this project even better!
CatchingPoints challenges you to “grab” floating points on screen using only your hand gestures. Five blue targets appear at random locations; guide them into your hand’s yellow capture box and close your fingers to collect. When all targets disappear, you win!
