Good Lighting - Ensure your room is well-lit for better hand detection 2. Clear Background - A plain background helps with tracking accuracy 3. Camera Position - Position yourself 1-2 feet from the camera 4. Hand Visibility - Keep your entire hand visible in the frame 5. Deliberate Gestures - Hold each gesture for about 0.5 seconds 6. Adjust Sensitivity - Use settings to find your comfortable delay time 🎨 CUSTOMIZATION OPTIONS Gesture Debounce (300ms - 1500ms) Control how quickly the extension responds to repeated gestures. Lower values = faster response, higher values = more deliberate control. Detection Confidence (0.5 - 0.9) Set the minimum confidence level for hand detection. Higher values reduce false positives but may miss some gestures. Visual Overlay The camera preview overlay can be used to verify your gestures are being detected correctly. It shows your hand landmarks in real-time. 🤝 SUPPORT & FEEDBACK Common Issues: • Camera not working? Check browser permissions • Gestures not detected?
