CLUSTER GESTURES-HAND-WEBCAM · 38 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2025-05-13

Webcam gesture control apps

The cluster consists of desktop and web applications that use webcam-based hand or body tracking for gesture control, enabling interaction with games, AI assistants, music, and system cursors. The dated entries before the index start show an isolated one in 2017-01, then a long gap, followed by several entries from 2025-05 through 2026-02, with the most (two) occurring in 2026-02. On traction, barehands leads by a wide margin with 900 stars, while Gesture-Mouse and gesture-obj-vision each have only 4 stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
