While exploring the art of hand shadows, I wondered whether some of the recent work I had done for body poses might be applicable to hand poses. What if you could tell a story on the web using your hands, and somehow save a video of the show and the narrative behind it, and send it to someone special? In lockdown, what could be more amusing than sharing shadow stories between friends or relatives, all virtually?
'Awesome' list for hand tracking
TensorFlow.js's handposes allow access to each hand keypoint and the ability to draw the hand to canvas as desired. HOWEVER, it only currently supports single hand poses, which is not optimal for good hand shadow shows.
One other library, fingerposes, is optimized for finger spelling in a sign language context and is worth a look.
This app can be deployed as an Azure Static Web App using the excellent Azure plugin for Visual Studio Code. And once it's live, you can tell durable shadow stories!
