I'm 18 and built a browser-based AI to draw in the air (No VR headset needed)

Hi everyone! I’m Dastan, an 18-year-old solo AI developer from Kazakhstan.

I wanted to experiment with spatial computing, but I don't own an Apple Vision Pro or any expensive sensors. So, I decided to build a solution that works entirely in the browser using just a standard laptop webcam.

I just launched Solifon Air Canvas. It uses AI to track hand gestures in real-time, allowing you to draw in mid-air and interact with 3D models.

You can test it right now in your browser: www.solifonai.online
(Instruction: Click the "New Feature" button in the top menu and allow webcam access).

Since I'm building this completely on my own, I'd really appreciate your help. If you have any cool ideas for new features, feedback on the tracking, or if anyone wants to collaborate and help me improve the code — let's connect!

Great work! I’m curious—did you use MediaPipe Hands for the gesture detection, and how did you handle the latency when feeding the webcam frames into the TensorFlow.js model? I’m following you for more AI‑web experiments and would love to swap ideas on optimizing real‑time inference.
