Hands in the Frame: Real-Time Hand Tracking for AR on Your Phone

Your phone camera can now follow every hand move, in the moment and without cloud.
This system finds the palm first, then maps the fingers so apps know where each joint sits.
It's made to run locally, so the experience feels quick and private.
Developers use it for fun filters, virtual try-ons, and new ways to play in AR/VR.
Because it works on-device, there is no lag from internet, and your video does not leave the phone.
The tool track a hand from a single camera, aiming for smooth, real-time responses even when you move fast.
The code is open source and available for people who want to try or build on it.
It names the palm then marks finger points, letting apps guess gestures or control objects.
This tech feels like magic when it works, but it may miss fingers in bad light or odd angles, so expect some limits.
Try it out, share what you make, and imagine new ways to touch the virtual world with just your hands.
